Abstract

The physical processes relevant to the fabrication of metallic nuclear fuels are analyzed, with attention to recycling of fuels containing U, Pu, and minor volatile actinides for use in fast reactors. This analysis is relevant to the development of a process model that can be used for the numerical simulation and prediction of the spatial distribution of composition in the fuel, an important factor in fuel performance.
