First Claim:
Show all 4 claims
What is claimed is:     1. In a process for producing nuclear fuel comprising microspheroidal particles of a fissile or fertile nuclear material coated with a carbon buffer layer and a dense pyrolytic carbon layer, said process comprising the steps of coating said microspheroidal particles with said buffer layer and said pyrolytic carbon layer; the improvement comprising the step of annealing at a temperature within the range of 1600°-2000° C. for a time at least 1-60 minutes yet insufficient to graphitize said pyrolytic carbon layer, said annealing step being carried out immediately after coating said dense pyrolytic carbon layer without cooling prior to said step of annealing.
