URANIUM-AND MOLYBDENUM-BASED ALLOY POWDER THAT CAN BE USED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF NUCLEAR FUEL AND TARGETS INTENDED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF RADIOISOTOPES

摘要

The present invention relates to a metastable γ-phase uranium and molybdenum-based alloy powder having an elongation index of at least 1.1, a closed porosity value other than 0, a change in molybdenum content within the same grain of not more than 1% Gt; grains. / RTI The present invention also relates to a method enabling the production of such an alloy powder and to the use of the powder in the manufacture of a target for nuclear fuel and radioisotope production. Applications: especially for experimental nuclear reactors; nuclear fuel; Manufacture of target for radioisotope production, mainly for the pharmaceutical industry.
