Abstract
A nuclear fuel material green body of density from about 30 to 70% of theoretical density having tensile strength and plasticity adequate to maintain the integrity of the body during processing leading to ultimate sintered condition is produced by adding one or more amines to a particulate mass of the nuclear fuel containing about five percent of ammonium uranyl carbonate under conditions resulting in reaction of the amine with the ammonium uranyl carbonate, liberation of ammonia and formation of a water-soluble uranyl compound more effective as a binder than the ammonium uranyl carbonate.
