摘要
Gadolinium oxide homogeneously mixed with uranium oxide nuclear fuel is used as burnable poison in modern LWR. Solid solutions of UO2 with Gd2O3 additions of between 5 and 10 wt% have been prepared according to the following routes: (a) mechanical mixing of both ceramic powders; (b) AUC and ADU coprecipitation. Microstructural analyses have been carried out by optical ceramography and electron microprobe for observation of heterogeneities. Sintered densities as well as O/U ratios of the ceramic pellets have also been measured.
