Abstract:A performance in a wet granulation of MOX powders prepared by the microwave heating de-nitration method was examined to fabricate MOX fuel pellets for FBR at an extremely simplified process. An agitating granulator equipped with three blades and a chopper was used and its performance was evaluated. Characteristics and physical properties of the raw powder and the granules were measured together with observations by SEM before/after granulation. We could obtain the granules of 120 to 140 μm in diameter within a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
