Abstract

Block fuel elements are prepared according to application Ser. No. 218,244 of Jan. 17, 1972, and now abandoned, from isotropic graphite granulates and coated fuel particles solely by pressing and without any mechanical processing. The cooling channels are pressed directly along with the other parts of the fuel elements.
