- 1. KAERI, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)
Description
Microwave oven for sintering oxide nuclear fuel pellets was manufactured and its performance test was conducted. A multi-mode type cubic applicator was used, and a magnetron which generates maximum output of 10kW and operates at a frequency of 2.45GHz was equipped in this microwave oven. Housing box to prevent thermal losses and preheat specimens was also designed and mounted in the applicator. By using the manufactured microwave oven, UO2 pellets which have a density over 95% TD were successfully sintered
