Description

Preparation method of high-thermal-conductivity nuclear fuel pellet
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a nuclear fuel pellet of a hydraulic reactor, in particular to a preparation method of a nuclear fuel pellet with high thermal conductivity.
Background
The nuclear fuel pellet core component of the piezoreactor is uranium dioxide, and the uranium dioxide emits a large amount of heat in the fission process and is conducted to external fluid through a cladding tube, so that the heat transmission and utilization are realized. However, the uranium dioxide has poor heat conducting property and is not beneficial to heat conduction, so that a high temperature gradient is generated from the edge to the center of the cross section of the fuel pellet, and even the nuclear fuel pellet is subjected to structural failure. For this reason, it is practically necessary to improve the heat transfer efficiency of the fuel block while controlling the fission speed of uranium dioxide. One of the major ways to improve the thermal conductivity of fuel pellets today is by adding highly thermally conductive substances such as the metals tungsten, molybdenum, SiC and diamond. The preparation process is mainly completed by the working procedures of powder mixing, pressing, sintering and the like. In the alloy prepared by the method, most doping elements are dispersed or dissolved in the uranium dioxide matrix, and a small amount of doping elements are distributed in the grain boundary. The doping elements inside the grains contribute to intra-grain heat conduction, and the doping elements at the grain boundaries contribute to inter-grain heat transfer. However, the point-type distribution of the high thermal conductivity doping elements at the grain boundaries affects a significant improvement in the thermal conductivity of the fuel pellets because no effective communication is achieved. In addition, in the existing preparation method of the uranium dioxide alloy fuel pellet, the particle size of the powder is selected and controlled by a screening mode basically. Therefore, the powder particle size distribution is wider, and the micro environments such as sintering temperature, pressure, activity and the like are not completely different, so that the controllability of the grain size of the pellet is poorer, and further, the difference of the grain size of the fuel pellet is larger. Meanwhile, high-thermal-conductivity elements such as W/Mo/SiC/diamond and the like at the grain boundary are distributed on the grain boundary randomly and cannot be effectively communicated. Therefore, the thermal conductivity of the existing uranium dioxide pellets is not ideal.
