Methods of preparation of uranium dioxide powders having a wide range of physical properties are discussed. Thy effects of chemical and mechanical processes, temperature of preparation, and O/U ratio on the density, surface area, porosity, crystallite size, and particle size distribution of the UO/sub 2/ are determined. The results of a microscopic study reveal that the shape and structure of the U0/sub 2/ particles depend upon their method of preparation. (auth).

Correlation of a number of physical and chemical properties of 12 different UO2 powders was continued. The UO2 powders were studied by means of infrared absorption measurements, oxidation temperatures as determined by hot stage microscopy techniques, and B.E.T. surface area measurements. Additional pellets were prepared to study ceramic performance. (M.C.G.).
