Single crystals of MOX are certainly required for more detailed studies. To our knowledge, no single crystal growth of transuranium mixed oxides was reported. Then, continuing our efforts on pure actinide oxides started some twenty years ago,4 we successfully grew crystals of (U[sub 1-x]Pu[sub...

In this paper, a method based on image analysis is presented for the microscopic determination of the PuO[sub 2]-rich zones and pores in MOX pellets. Both features are related to the microstructure of the fuel and its in-pile behavior. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
