Abstract
Although the conventional advantages of ceramics lie in their favourable high temperature properties reactor technology has not yet made use of these properties, mainly because of their uncertain behaviour under irradiation. The fabrication and properties of beryllia, uranium dioxide and thoria, and of mixed oxide systems, are discussed.
