Abstract

The invention discloses a UO2 and U3Si2 composite fuel pellet as well as a preparation method and application thereof and aims at solving the problem that the security of nuclear fuel is reduced as UO2 thermal conductivity is too low in the prior art. U3Si2 of the composite fuel pellet is of a three-dimensional network structure and forms an interpenetrating network structure with UO2. According to the invention, a high temperature melting infiltrating reaction method is adopted for preparing and generating the UO2 and U3Si2 composite fuel pellet with the interpenetrating network structure. The invention also discloses application of the UO2 and U3Si2 composite fuel pellet as the nuclear fuel in a commercial nuclear reactor. The UO2 and U3Si2 composite fuel pellet disclosed by the invention can resist a coolant loss accident within a longer time, the performance of the UO2 and U3Si2 composite fuel pellet under normal operating conditions also can be maintained or improved, the preparation method is simple in technology, easy in operation and high in production efficiency, and large-scale industrial production can be realized.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of nuclear fuel technology, and specifically relates to a UO 2 And U 3 Si 2 Composite fuel pellets and preparation methods and uses thereof. Background technique [0002] Uranium Dioxide (UO 2 ) Is currently the most widely used nuclear fuel for commercial nuclear reactors. It has excellent thermal, chemical, and radiation stability, as well as high melting point, retention of solid fission products and strong ability to block gaseous fission products from spreading. However, relying on the characteristics of heat transfer by phonons causes its thermal conductivity to drop sharply under high temperature and irradiation conditions, and the heat export ability declines rapidly. Therefore, the current UO 2 The operating temperature of -Zr nuclear fuel system is only 700-1200℃. In the accident state, the reactor cooling system failed, the heat in the reactor could not be dissipated, the temperature of the reactor core increas...
