ABSTRACT:
A nuclear fuel rod contains nuclear fuel pellets that have incorporated therein a hybrid burnable absorber that affects a moderation of the burn-out rate of the system containing the rod. The nuclear fuel pellets contain 1 to 20 percent by weight gadolinium oxide and 0.02 to 1.0 percent by weight of boron carbide particles of a size between 20 to 100 microns in diameter, the particles coated with a 0.5 to 10 micron thick coating of a helium gas-impervious coating.
