Experimental fuel elements of UO2 clad in metallic sheaths were fabricated by swaging, rolling, and coextrusion. The effects of the type of UO2 and of the materials and dimensions of the sheath were investigated. Fused UO2 swaged in stainless steel tubing reached a maximum density of 93% of theoretical.
