ABSTRACT:
A fuel rod for a water cooled nuclear reactor comprises a cladding made of a continuous wound ceramic fiber tube. The wound fibers are impregnated with a matrix to achieve a required density and exposed to ammonia gas to create a solid gel. The gel is fired to form a ceramic composite having desirable thermal properties, strength, corrosion resistance, toughness and neutron capture cross-section.
