“…Glodeanu [57] listed the key process parameters in the fabrication of high density thoria urania pellets as comminution of the starting powders by dry ball milling and intimate mixing. The surface area of the powder mixture increased as the co milling time was increased, but saturated after 10 hours.…”

India is one of the few countries committed to expansion of nuclear power. In view of the abundance of thorium relative to uranium, thorium cycle is under serious development and implementation. Both ThO 2 and (U,Th)O 2 are used. Fine powders of the same are mostly prepared through the aqueous chemical route, pressed and sintered. Extrusion and hot impact densification are also being used. Sol-gel method and other alternatives are also being pursued with the advantage of automation and remote operation. Relevant papers on the thorium cycle with emphasis on processing methods and related aspects are reviewed here.
