ABSTRACT:
Particulate graphite having a particle size not greater than about 1500 microns is impregnated with a polymerizeable organic compound in liquid form. The impregnated particles are treated with a hot aqueous acid solution to at least begin the polymerization reaction and remove excess impregnant from the outer surface thereof. The treated particles are heated to complete the polymerization and then blended with particulate nuclear fuel. A nuclear fuel body is formed by joining the blend into a cohesive mass using a carbonaceous binder.
