Research Abstract

A new concept for fabrication of the advanced nuclear fuels using asbestos waste-derived materials as a sintering additive was proposed for the establishment of simple fabrication process with lower sintering temperature. The fundamental fabrication processes of MgO-, Mo-and Si_3N_4-based advanced nuclear fuels were established.
