含铬大晶粒UO2芯块制备

Preparation of UO2 Pellets with Large Grain Containing Chromium

  • 摘要: 大晶粒高热导的UO2芯块为一种理想的高燃耗核燃料芯块。其制备时需在UO2粉末中添加微量Al2O3和Cr2O3,并依照粉末冶金方式来制备。该燃料芯块晶粒尺寸在30 μm以上,密度为96.5%~97%T.D,同时为提升芯块导热性,要求Cr含量要在0.06wt%~0.1wt%。制备过程中,首先通过单一添加确定了两种物质的最优添加量,再选择合适的粉末预处理技术对两种物质进行混合添加试验。结果表明,分别添加0.008wt%~0.01wt% 的Al2O3粉末和0.2wt%~0.3wt%的 Cr2O3粉末并采用制粒粉末包裹Cr2O3的方式制得的芯块晶粒度可达到43.3 μm,密度为96.8%T.D,Cr含量为0.086 4wt%掺铬大晶粒UO2芯块。

     

    Abstract: The UO2 pellets with large grain and high thermal conductivity is an ideal nuclear fuel pellets with high burnup. According to the design requirements, trace substances Al2O3 and Cr2O3 should be added in UO2 powder and then the fuel pellet is prepared in a powder metallurgy manner so as to ensure that the grain size is over 30μm and the density is 96.5% ~ 97%T.D. At the same time, the residual amount of Cr in the pellet should be 0.06 wt% ~ 0.1wt% in order to improve the thermal conductivity of the pellet. In the preparation process, the optimal addition amount of the two substances is determined by single addition method, and then the appropriate powder pretreatment technology is selected for the mixed addition test. The results show that by adding 0.008wt% ~ 0.01wt% Al2O3 powder and 0.2wt% ~ 0.3wt% Cr2O3 powder respectively, and using the method of coating Cr2O3 with the pelletizing powder, the UO2 pellets with large grain containing chromium can be obtained, whose grain size can reach 43.3 μm, the density is 96.8% T. D, and the residual amount of Cr is 0.0864wt%.
