ABSTRACT:
A method of making an oxide nuclear fuel compact of predominantly open porosity having a density between about 88 and 96 percent of theoretical density. A green compact is formed from a mixture of particulate nuclear fuel oxide and fibrous material and then heated under conditions sufficient to cause removal of the fibrous material. Sintering for a sufficient length of time produces a strong, open-pore structure which is resistant to in-reactor sintering.
