ABSTRACT:
Nuclear fuel compacts, containing thousands of individually coated fuel particles in a carbonaceous matrix, are provided with an overcoating of silicon carbide which can be readily inspected for defects. This overcoating helps retain fission products within the compact should any of the fuel particles have damaged or defective coatings, and provides an outer secondary barrier that can be 100% inspected.
