Method for the manufacture of oxidic sintered nuclear fuel bodies by compacting UO2-starting powder or a mixture of UO2- and PuO2 starting powder which contains up to 10% by weight rare-earth oxide especially Gd2O3, as an, additive into blanks and subsequent densification of these blanks by a heat treatment in a sintering atmosphere with reducing action. The UO2-starting powder used for compacting has a specific surface in the range of 2 to 4.5 m2/g and/or a mean crystallite diameter in the range of 80 nm to 250 nm and the, heat treatment in the sintering atmosphere with reducing action is carried out at a temperature in the range of 1,500°C to 1,750°C.
