A method for the preparation of high-density ThO/sub 2/ of the correct particle size for vibratory compaction is under development. The method being developed appears easily adaptable to remote operation. Pure ThO/sub 2/ made by this method was readily compacted to 86% of theoretical density by pneumatic vibration. Preparations of high-density mixed ThO/sub 2/ -UO/sub 2/ and UO/sub 2/ by this general method have been successfully carried out. Densification of arc-fused mixed oxide by a pneumatic vibrator compared favorably with results of tests with the same oxide using electronic vibra tors at both Huntsville, Alabama, and Savannah River. In the limited tests with the electroinic vibrators at the other sites, it appeared that a saw-tooth wave shape gave greater densification than a sine wave or random noise. (auth
