PRODUCTION METHOD FOR NUCLEAR FUEL PELLET

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce production and fabrication cost by simplifying a production equipment, reducing the accumulation of nuclear fuel material, making the carriage of the nuclear fuel material efficient and reducing operators. SOLUTION: A production method for nuclear fuel pellets comprises a process of controlling Pu enrichment in Pu-U in solution step, a process of heating and denitrating the Pu enrichment-controlled Pu-U mixed solution by microwave irradiation and making powdered MOX material, a process carrying the MOX powder material 10 by air flow for supplying the material to a molding machine without mixing an additive and molding directly to pellets by compression molding, and a process of sintering the molded pellets. The sintered pellets become product pellets 12 by passing grinding and inspecting processes.
