Effects of processing variables on HTGR fuel kernels fabricated from uranium-loaded cation-exchange resin
Description
An experiment was performed to determine whether the process for refrabricating HTGR fuel microspheres could be reasonably controlled if scaled up to engineering-scale, fluidized bed equipment. Effects of gas flow rate, heating rate and oxide to carbided conversion temperature and time on the composition, size, shape and density of the fuel kernels were determined in a statistically designed and analyzed experiment. 20 refs
