Evaluation of Morphological Powder Characteristics Based on Uranium Dioxide

Abstract

At present there is no unambiguous quantitative evaluation of morphological features for the evaluation of powder characteristics including uranium dioxide. The results of such monitoring allow to evaluate the potential possibilities of using powdered material for further use in pressing and sintering The method of quantitative
evaluation of the morphology of powders was developed. A comparative analysis of the morphological and technological characteristics of the uranium dioxide powder obtained by various methods is carried out.
