| Popis: | The Indian research reactor APSARA, which uses HEU based UAl 3 fuel dispersed in aluminium matrix, is to undergo core conversion to LEU based U 3 Si 2 dispersoid in aluminium matrix fuel. Work has been initiated at BARC, to prepare uranium silicide (U 3 Si 2 ) compound using powder processing route in place of vacuum induction melting or arc melting route. This paper describes the preparation flow-sheet of the U 3 Si 2 dispersoid by an innovative powder processing route with uranium metal powder and silicon powder as starting materials. |
