| 20110150166 | METHOD OF PROVIDING A NUCLEAR FUEL AND A FUEL ELEMENT PROVIDED BY SUCH A METHOD - A nuclear fuel element including a uranium-molybdenum alloy that provides an enhanced reactivity in research, test and radioisotope production nuclear reactors. In this uranium-molybdenum alloy, the uranium is enriched in the isotope 235-U, while the molybdenum is depleted in the isotope 95-Mo. The thus obtained enhanced reactivity provides, depending on the exact use of the fuel element, a requirement for less uranium in the fuel and the use of the fuel elements during a longer period in the reactor. | 06-23-2011 |
