Description
The sintering of UOX and MOX fuels has been investigated by high temperature dilatometer tests, in different atmospheres and in function of the plutonium content .
The presentation will focus on the construction of the sintering trajectories, on the determination of the apparent activation energy for densification and, when possible, on the determination of the densification mechanisms regarding the plutonium content and the atmosphere used.
Statistical tests have also been performed to compare the grain size at the periphery and at the center of some sintered pellets of interest.
