Abstract

The effect of a CAM (Continuous Attrition Mill) treatment on the sinterability of ex-ADU $UO_2$ powder was investigated. As the cycles of a CAM increased, the apparent density, specific surface area and O/U of the milled powder increased, but there particle sizes decreased. However the sintered density of the $UO_2$ pellet decreased as the cycles of the CAM increased. It is considered that the decrease of the sintered density is due to the formation of $U_3O_8$, which was produced by a CAM mechanism.
