Provided are a conductive adhesive tape including a compressible conductive powder, which is manufactured by applying a conductive adhesive prepared by mixing a conductive powder having a conductive metal-coated outer surface and an adhesive resin at a certain ratio on one surface or both surfaces of a conductive substrate and is easily and evenly attached to an attachment surface by preventing a protrusion phenomenon through deformable characteristics with respect to pressing, and a manufacturing method thereof.

Additive manufacturing methods use a surrogate slurry to iteratively develop an additive manufacturing protocol and then substitutes a final slurry composition to then additively manufacture a final component using the developed additive manufacturing protocol. In the nuclear reactor component context, the final slurry composition is a nuclear fuel slurry having a composition: 30-45 vol. % monomer resin, 30-70 vol. % plurality of particles of uranium-containing material, >0-7 vol. % dispersant, photoactivated dye, photoabsorber, photoinitiator, and 0-18 vol. % (as a balance) diluent. The surrogate slurry has a similar composition, but a plurality of surrogate particles selected to represent a uranium-containing material are substituted for the particles of uranium-containing material. The method provides a means for in-situ monitoring of characteristics of the final component during manufacture as well as in-situ volumetric inspection. Compositions of surrogate slurries and nuclear fuel slurries are also disclosed.
