SGMP — an advanced method for fabrication of UO2 and mox fuel pellets

Characterization of nanocrystalline (Th1−xCex)Oy powders synthesized by co-precipitation process

“…Some of these studies concerning different types of ceramic materials can be found in literature [1][2][3][4][5].…”

Sol–gel synthesis and microwave assisted sintering of zirconia–ceria solid solution

“…Preparation through sol-gel route has many advantages, like high homogeneity, less number of process steps, easy for remote operation, low sintering [15][16][17][18][19][20]. The two main sol-gel routes are external and internal ammonia gelation [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. The internal gelation ends up in a product with good homogeneity and controlled particles size.…”

Study on Preparation and First-Stage Sintering Kinetics of ThO2-UO2Pellets Made by Sol-Gel Microspheres Technique

“…The data obtained were thus analyzed to nd out the kinetics of sintering and the activation energies of the ThO 2 -5%UO 2 and ThO 2 -10%UO 2 pellets. 4. Experimental results Figure 2 shows the shrinkage behaviors of ThO 2 -5%UO 2 and ThO 2 -10%UO 2 pellets under Ar+5%H 2 atmosphere.…”
