Nuclear powder targets for neutron-induced cross section measurements were prepared by pressing. The choice of the production technique was related to the type of nuclear experiment and the quality of the powder. This paper describes the production process of unsintered compacts of 94Mo, 95Mo, 96Mo metal powders and 239PuO2 powder with a thickness as low as possible by uniaxial pressing of powders. Special attention goes to the difficulties encountered during the preparation process of 239PuO2 pellets. Investigation on the presence of impurities and so the quality of the PuO2 material was performed by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction and by thermal analysis. |
