Background
High nuclear fuel energy density, CO2And the emission of harmful gases is less, and the method is an important means for solving the problems of shortage of petrochemical resources and serious environmental pollution. The nuclear power generation is clean energy, the advantages of the nuclear power are obvious, and the nuclear power generation position is more prominent along with the continuous increase of the proportion of nuclear power energy. However, nuclear energy is energy generated by fission of a heavy metal element such as uranium, and fission products having a certain radioactivity are formed. Therefore, the key of nuclear power safety is to make radiation protection and prevent radioactive products from leaking, and the prerequisite of nuclear energy development is also provided. Many nuclear radioactive leakage events occur on the roads for peacefully utilizing nuclear energy of human beings, in particular to Japanese blessing in 2011Nuclear power accident in island, and promotion of traditional UO2Accident tolerance of-Zr alloy system fuel assemblies is a focus of attention.
UO2High melting point, small radiation swelling, but low thermal conductivity, and poor containment capability of fission gases under deep burnup. UO2 pellets of low thermal conductivity make UO2The Zr-fuel system forms a large temperature gradient during operation, the UO of the fuel rod2The core temperature of the pellets reaches above 1500 ℃. The core temperature of the pellets is high, the rate of fission gas release is high, and the high temperature gradient causes thermal stress to the pellets, reducing the safety of the fuel element. In addition, under the operating condition of loss of coolant accident, the higher the temperature of the core of the pellet is, the more energy is transferred to the cladding of the fuel rod, and the larger the amount of released fission gas is, the higher the risk of breakage of the cladding of the fuel rod is, and even the core melting is caused. Therefore, the development of advanced nuclear fuels and the research on nuclear fuel pellets with high thermal conductivity and low fission gas release rate are the key to improve the accident tolerance of nuclear reactor fuel elements.
IMDP is an important research direction for accident fault-tolerant fuel pellets by using TRISO microspheres as nuclear fuel carriers and taking reference of a high-temperature gas cooled reactor fuel sphere technology to disperse the TRISO microspheres in SiC matrixes. In the IMDP core block, a high-thermal-conductivity SiC matrix coats the TRISO microspheres, so that the integrity of the TRISO microspheres is protected, and heat is efficiently conducted. Moreover, the special structural design of the TRISO particles and the IMDP ensures that the pellets inhibit the release of fission gases under deep burnup. The SiC matrix of the IMDP nuclear fuel pellet has high melting point and high thermal conductivity, and the release rate of the TRISO microsphere fission gas is low, so that the accident fault tolerance of the fuel element is improved.
The IMDP pellet is prepared by dispersing TRISO microspheres in a SiC matrix of powder, and the American oak ridge national laboratory adopts a hot-pressing sintering method to mix TRISO particles and SiC powder and then carry out hot-pressing sintering, so that the process is mature, and the thermal conductivity is improved to a certain extent compared with that of a pure UO2 pellet, but the method has some defects: (1) the green body pressing process is difficult, and particularly, the fuel-free area of the outer layer cannot be tightly combined with the fuel area; (2) the sintering temperature is high, which is not beneficial to improving the comprehensive performance of the core block.

Spark plasma sintering is performed in a graphite mold. When the discharge plasma is sintered, the sintering temperature is 1600-2000 ℃, the sintering pressure is 10-50MPa, and the heat preservation time is 5-20 min. And after sintering, cooling along with the furnace to obtain the inert matrix dispersion fuel pellet.
The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the fuel zone material is loaded into the fuel-free zone and then pressed, the three-dimensional perspective view of the resulting pellets is substantially the same as the three-dimensional perspective view of the pellets produced in the first embodiment, and the peripheral contour of the TRISO particles is more regular.
The inert matrix dispersion fuel pellet prepared by the preparation method comprises a fuel area and a fuel-free area, wherein the fuel area is positioned in the fuel-free area.
