JAEA is developing simplified a plutonium and uranium mixed oxide (MOX) pellet fabrication process. In this process, agitation granulator improves flowability of MOX powder with water as binder. This granulation method has issues, including low production capacity due to criticality control for wet nuclear material. A new simple additive-free dry granulation method was proposed recently to produce tritium breeding Li $_{2}$ O spheres for nuclear fusion reactor. In this research, results of experiments to investigate the applicability of the new granulation method to MOX powder is reported.
