ABSTRACT:
A graphite jacket for a fuel element for nuclear reactors is made by placing a dry mixture of graphite and a powdered thermosetting resin in a mold without application of pressure and heating said mixture to thermoset said resin and then subjecting to a coking treatment. The coked jacket is then filled with a mixture of fissile particles and graphite and the complete assembly is closed and treated with a gaseous hydrocarbon at an elevated temperature to deposit pyrolytic carbon.
