Abstract

The reactor fuel element of the parent Specification is modified by substitution of U233 or a mixture of U233 and U235 for U235. The fuel element may contain 5.0-23.0% of U233 or U233 and U235, 0.001-0.2% of B10, the balance being U238, B11 and a metal selected from Al and Zr, the B being evenly distributed throughout the alloy. The fuel element may be made by the process described in the parent Specification.
