In the Fast Reactor Cycle technology Development (FaCT) project conducted by Japan Atomic Energy Agency, minor actinide-containing MOX (MA-MOX) fuel has been developed. The fuel is a homogeneous MOX fuel which contains a maximum of 5% MA such as Am and Np. The oxygen-to-metal (O/M) ratio of the fuel is adjusted to less than 1.97 to control fuel and cladding chemical interaction in a high burn-up of 150 GWd/t. In this paper, the thermal properties of raw powder and sintering behavior of oxidized powder were investigated. In addition the O/M ratio adjustment procedure was established.
