TABLET FOR MANUFACTURING A THERMAL ELEMENT OF NUCLEAR REACTOR ON QUICK NEUTRONS Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G21C3/60 

FIELD: nuclear physics and equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to nuclear engineering, in particular to nuclear fuel and methods for manufacturing dispersion fuel pellets of fuel elements. Tablet for manufacturing a fuel element of a fast neutron nuclear reactor contains a solid uranium compound and metallic plutonium that are uniformly distributed throughout the volume. In this case, plutonium is in the form of an arbitrarily oriented element, made of wire not more than 0.5 mm thick.

EFFECT: maintenance of ecological safety of technological process of manufacturing of a fuel tablet at the expense of an exception of a dust formation of plutonium compounds, increase of strength, heat conductivity and reactivity of a tablet.
