Abstract
In the preparation of microspheres of nuclear fuel by feeding droplets of an aqueous solution of a salt of a metal constituting the nuclear fuel that is precipitated by a basic medium and a resin that increases in viscosity in the presence of an alkali into an aqueous alkaline solution so that spheroids are formed therefrom which are then dried and calcined, the geometrical properties of those spheroids are controlled by thermostating the feed solution so that the droplets which are fed into the alkaline solution have a predetermined temperature.
