In commercial reactors where a ‘pellet missing surface’ is observed a cladding crack has also been
observed several times. Chips are produced mainly by dynamic impacts during pellet production process
as a whole, i.e. ...
Powder flowability characteristics are often intentionally modified in order to improve their production
process. The UO2 pellet manufacturing process can consist of many steps, e.g. milling, granulation,
homogenization, ...
