Abstract

See full text

The invention regards a neutron absorbing component (1) and a method for manufacturing a neutron absorbing component. The neutron absorbing component comprises a core (2) consisting of a first material, a layer (3) consisting of a second material. The layer encloses a least partly the core and is adapted to protect the core from an outer surrounding. The first material has a higher neutron absorption capability than the second material. The neutron absorbing component is manufactured by sintering in such a way that an intermediate layer (4) is formed between the core and the layer. The intermediate layer has a material gradient that comprises a decrease of the concentration of the first material from the core to the layer and an increase of the concentration of the second material from core to the layer.
