Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
THE METHOD OF DISPERSING UO2 IN A URANIUM MATRIX COMPRISING THE STEPS OF PREPARING A BED OF FINE PARTICLES OF UH3, PASSING SMALL AMOUNT OF OXYGEN MIXED WITH AN INERT GAS THROUGH SAID BED UNTIL ALL OF SAID PARTICLES ARE COATED WITH THIN LAYERS OF UO2 AS A RESULT OF A CHEMICAL EXCHANGE, AND HEATING SAID BED TO DECOMPOSE SAID UH3 PARTICLES CAUSING THE ESCAPING HYDROGEN TO PASS OUT THROUGH SAID THIN LAYERS OF UO2, LEAVING A BED OF UNSINTERED FINE URANIUM PARTICLES COATED WITH UO2.
