Abstract:
A nuclear fuel pellet for a nuclear reactor is disclosed. The pellet comprises a metallic matrix and ceramic fuel particles of a fissile material dispersed in the metallic matrix. The metallic matrix is an alloy consisting of the principle elements U, Zr, Nb and Ti, and of possible rest elements. The concentration of each of the principle elements in the metallic matrix is at the most 50 molar-%.
