Abstract
Block fuel elements for high temperature power reactors that can be reprocessed simply are prepared in which the feed and breed zones are connected with the graphite matrix directly and without transition. They are disposed separately from each other in such a manner that the feed zones and the breed zones can be separately removed one after the other from the structural graphite. In the reprocessing operation there are recovered uranium 233 from the breed particles, uranium 235 and fission products from the feed particles.
