Description
Atomic homogeneities of UO2-PuO2 and ThO2-UO2 fuels fabricated by the mechanical blending were evaluated, using an X-ray diffraction method which has been developed to investigate the homogeneity in a binary metal powder compact. The X-ray diffraction line profile obtained on the plane (620) of specimen was converted to the composition distribution, after removing Kα2 line profile and instrumental broadening function. Effective penetration curve obtained from the composition distribution and subsequently Matano interface was determined, and finally atomic homogeneity was evaluated. (orig.)
