Abstract
This invention relates to a method of preparing a nuclear fuel element including the steps of feeding fuel particles and/or a matrix material, in which the fuel particles are to be dispersed, into at least one cavity defined in a body, and reducing the volume of fuel particles and/or matrix material fed Into the cavity by ultrasonic vibration of at least one of the fuel particles, the matrix material and the body. The invention extends to a nuclear fuel element.
