Creators

Description

This patent describes a fissionable nuclear composition for service in a nuclear reactor fuel core consisting essentially of a ceramic body of fissionable oxide fuel material selected from the group. It consists of uranium oxides, plutonium oxide and thorium oxides, and mixtures thereof, and containing dispersed throughout the ceramic body of fissionable oxide fuel material at least one boron depletable neutron absorbent selected from the group consisting boron nitride, boron oxide and boron silicide in amounts of from about 0.02 up to about 0.50 percent by weight of the fissionable oxide fuel material
