The paper reviews the sol-gel methods used for the preparation of nuclear fuel materials in the form of microspheres. It also discusses how these microspheres can be fabricated into nuclear fuels for reactors such as High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactors and Fast Reactors. The performance of these microsphere-based fuels is reviewed. More recent applications, such as the transmutation of minor actinides, (Np, Am and Cm) and hydrogen production, are also briefly covered.
