Abstract
In the paper, Brandon mathematical model that describes the relationship between the essential fabrication parameters [reduction temperature (TR), calcination temperature (TC), calcination time (tC) and reduction time (tR)] and specific surface area of ammonium diuranate (ADU)-derived UO2 powder products was established. The proposed models can be used to predict and control the specific surface area of UO2 powders prepared through ADU route. Suitable temperatures for conversion of ADU and ammonium uranyl carbonate (AUC) was examined with the proposed model through assessment of the sinterability of UO2 powders.
