Embodiment

[0032] The purpose of this example is to provide a method for preparing porous fuel core inert-based dispersed fuel pellets, which replaces the TRISO particles in the existing pellets with porous fuel cores, increasing the uranium abundance in the pellets by more than four times , can also significantly improve the neutron economy of the fuel pellets, reduce the cost of power plant operation and spent fuel reprocessing, and can also greatly shorten the process cycle, realize the batch preparation of the pellets, significantly reduce the production cost, and the prepared The inert-based dispersed fuel pellets have higher density, smaller grain size, fewer structural defects, and better high-temperature stability and radiation resistance.

[0033] The preparation method mainly includes several steps of preparation of porous fuel core pellets → preparation of inert matrix slurry → preparation of composite particles → pressing core → pressing core shell → preparation and molding; w...

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a porous-fuel-core inert matrix dispersion fuel pellet. The preparation method mainly comprises the steps of preparation of porous fuel core beads, preparation of inert matrix slurry, preparation of composite particles, pressing of a core, pressing of a core shell and preparation forming. According to the method, TRISO particles in an existing pellet is replaced with a porous fuel core, so that uraniumu abundance in the pellet is improved by four times or more, neutron economy of the fuel pellet can also be obviously improved, and power station operation cost and spent fuel reprocessing cost are reduced; moreover, a process period can also be greatly shortened, batch preparation of the pellet is implemented, and production cost is obviously reduced; the prepared inert matrix dispersion fuel pellet is higher in compactness, smaller in crystal grain size, fewer in structural defects and more excellent in high-temperature stability and irradiation resistance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of nuclear fuel, in particular to a method for preparing porous fuel core inert base dispersed fuel pellets. Background technique [0002] Inert Matrix Dispersion Pellet (IMDP) is a new type of reactor fuel with high intrinsic safety performance that draws on the structural design of high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear fuel and encapsulates the fuel core in an inert ceramic material matrix. The fuel core of the inert-based dispersed fuel pellets is a tri-structural isotropic (TRI-structural Isotropic, TRISO) multi-layer coating particle, while the TRISO multi-layer coating fuel particle is composed of a fuel core and a four-layer coating structure . The fuel core material is uranium dioxide (UO2), which is the most widely used in commercial nuclear reactors. 2 ), with a diameter of about 500 μm, and the four-layer coating structure from the inside to the outside is a loose pyrolytic carbon layer with a thick...
