ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for producing microspherical ceramic particles such as particulate ceramic fuels for use in nuclear reactors. To produce gel particles by performing microwave heating on the small droplets of a stock solution or sol that contains uranium and other elements for nuclear reactor fuels, the small droplets are allowed to fall down through a cavity resonator using microwaves having an engineering frequency of 2.45 GHz and a quartz rod is inserted into or withdrawn out of the resonator to adjust the resonant frequency so that it will lie within the spectrum width of the microwave frequency.
