This International Standard describes a procedure for measuring the densification of UO2, (U,Gd)O2,and (U,Pu)O2 pellets, achieved by heat treatment under defined conditions.The densification of fuel in power operation is an important design feature. Essentially, it is dependenton structural parameters such as pore size, spatial pore distribution, grain size, and in the case of (U,Gd)O2 a nd ( U,Pu)O2, oxide phase structure. A thermal re-sintering test can be used to characterize thedimensional behaviour of the pellets under high temperature. The results of this test are used by the fueldesigner to predict dimensional behaviour in the reactor, because thermal densification in the reactor isalso dependent on these structural parameters, albeit in a differing manner in terms of quantity.On the assumption of the prediction, it is necessary to correlate the results of this test by somecorrelation rules, because the results of this test vastly depend on the re-sintering conditions (such asheat treatment temperature, treatment time, gas content, and partial oxygen pressure).
