The types of problems encountered in the use of powder components for nuclear reactor cores are discussed. Examples are given of processes and experience related to the application of standard powder techniques to nuclear materials, use of novel methods for the production of nuclear materials, adaptation of commercial powder products for in-reactor use, and development of unique materials.
