Nuclear fuel elements are fabricated into a wide variety of forms for use in reactors. They may b e fabricated from uranium or thoriuio—as metal, alloy, compound» or mixture, and clad in metal such as aluminum, zirconium, or stainless steel. This is a simulated graphite-moderated reactor showing some basic element forms made by Sylvania
