Zusammenfassung:The inventive amorphised nuclear fuel is produced in the form of a suspension using a dispersion medium, for example, in the form of a heavy water, in which solid fuel microparticles (sized less than 10 mkm) which are made of metals, for example based on a metal thorium with an alloying additive to such uranium-235 and/or plutonium-239 alloys, and not from oxidic or carbidic compounds of a known ceramic type, are distributed (suspended) in the form of a dispersion phase. Said metal fuel microparticles are initially technologically provided with an amorphous and not crystal structure, which is intrinsic to known metal glasses. For this purpose, monofractional composition microparticles are used. In addition to the fuel microparticles, auxiliary microparticles, for example amorphised beryllium and/or carbon particles are introduced into the dispersion phase composition. Said amorphised nuclear fuel is substantially intended for promising development of a thorium nuclear engineering in terms of the historically unavoidable transition of a world nuclear engineering from the uranium to the thorium use.
