Abstract
Accidents in plutonium processing plants due to the combustion of kerosene may involve the oxidation and pulverization of nuclear fuel pellets. Hence, some simulation experiments were performed in a glove box to study the behaviour of pellets of different composition ( UO 2 PuO 2 , i.e. MOX) and preparation conditions (sintered or green pellets with or without binding agent) as a function of temperature, time and oxidation atmosphere, especially in relation to the formation of coarse and respirable particles.
