A methodology is disclosed for compaction of a ceramic matrix of certain nuclear fuels incorporating neutron poisons, whereby those poisons aid in reactor control while aiding in fuel fabrication. Neutronic poisons are rare-earth oxides that readily form eutectics suppressing fuel fabrication temperature, of particular importance to the fully ceramic microencapsulated fuel form and fuel forms with volatile species.
