[en] The studies on the production of sinterable uranium dioxide by means of precipiation of ammonium polyuranate with NH₃ aq. from the aqueous uranyl nitrate solution and on its calcination and reduction with hydrogen were carried out. The influence of the precipiation parameters of ammonium polyuranate on its and uranium dioxide physico-chemical properties and their reproducibility as well as the possibilities to obtain these powders in the batch small scale process were examined. The physico-chemical properties of powders, impurities contents and the ability for pressing and sintering were determined. As a reult the most advantageous conditions of the precipitation has been established. It was found possible to obtain both ammonium polyuranate and uranium dioxide powders in a state o high purity with reproducible physico-chemical properties. The specific density of sintered pellets was higher than 94% of the theoretical density. (author)
