Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for enclosing spent fuel rods of a nuclear reactor in a copper container according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • spent fuel rods from a nuclear reactor are directly, i. H. without refurbishment, enclosed in sealed containers made of corrosion-resistant material.
  • spent fuel rods are placed in a copper container and embedded in lead in the container by supplying molten lead to the container, which then solidifies in the container.
  • the container is then provided with a copper lid which is welded to the container to form a tight seam.
  • a method for enclosing spent fuel rods is known from the publication »speaking room « 113 (1980), page 756 ff, in which the fuel rods are first enclosed in a steel container. This steel container is then introduced loosely, that is to say without additional embedding material, into a receptacle made of alumina. The alumina jar is then capped and the entire unit is hot isostatically pressed.
  • a method for the containment of radioactive waste in which a body containing radioactive waste prepared in a certain way is placed in a copper capsule and embedded therein in copper powder, whereupon the entire unit is hot isostatically pressed.
  • a prerequisite for this method is that the radioactive material of the body introduced into the copper shell is already enclosed in a material that is resistant to the environment, namely in a solidified glass melt or a sintered oxidic or other inorganic material.
  • the radioactive waste must be converted into a stable and pressure-resistant body by a complex other method.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a simple method in relation to the known methods of the type mentioned, by which the spent fuel rods are protected in a very resistant to corruption attacks and tightly sealed to the outside.
  • the invention is based on the finding that considerable advantages are achieved when copper powder is used instead of lead as embedding material for the spent fuel rods and when the container and the lid are closed by isostatic pressing.
  • a higher resistance to corrosion attacks is achieved in that the solid copper body formed from the copper powder, the container and the lid is more resistant to corrosion than a copper container with a lead body arranged therein.
  • copper is inherently more resistant than lead and on the other hand to the fact that the protective layers consist of a uniform material.
  • Another advantage is that the inside of the container can be manufactured free of cavitation, which is hardly possible when pouring lead into the container and welding a lid.
  • Another advantage is that the seam between the container and the lid in the method according to the invention is completely tight and completely reliable.
  • the materials of the container and lid merge into one another without a joint or a transition point with a different material composition being present between the container and the lid.
  • the welding of copper parts with a large wall thickness is associated with great difficulties and results in a seam which has a different structure than the adjacent material. The seam can therefore become a weakened area in the closed container.
  • the gas-tight capsule can normally remain on the finished pressed body when it is deposited for final storage.
  • the capsule can be made from sheet metal of the same quality as the container, i.e. H. made of copper. This considerably reduces the probability that a coherent material defect or a defect in the copper material can occur.
  • the outer capsule can also be made of another material that provides additional corrosion protection for copper, such as. B. stainless steel or titanium.
  • the container, the lid and the copper powder are preferably made of a high-purity quality copper with a low oxygen content, at least 99.95% Cu (including small amounts of Ag), a so-called OFHC type (Oxygen Free High Conductivity). It is believed that such quality gives the finished product good resistance to corrosion.
  • high-purity copper can be used, which has been deoxidized with small amounts of phosphorus (max. 0.015% P).
  • the particles of the copper powder are preferably spherical or at least predominantly spherical. Particles with such a shape have good fluidity and thus result in a high degree of filling.
  • the fill Degree of efficiency can be improved by using spherical powder with at least two different grain sizes.
  • a suitable grain size for one of the two fractions is 0.5-1.5 mm and for the other fraction 0.1-0.2 mm.
  • the latter fraction can alternatively be a graded fraction with a maximum grain size of 0.2 mm.
  • the fact that the container and / or the fuel assemblies are exposed to slight impacts or vibrations when filled can further improve the filling level of the copper powder.
  • a vibrating ramming device can be temporarily placed on or in the filled copper powder for the same purpose.
  • the isostatic pressing to form the coherent, tight unit from the container, lid and powder preferably takes place at a pressure of at least 10 MPa and at a temperature of 500-800 ° C.
  • the spacer elements are spacers, usually made of stainless steel, in which the fuel rods are combined to form fuel bundles, are arranged in the nuclear reactor during operation. After the fuel rods in the reactor have been used up, the fuel bundles can be placed in the copper container without any assembly work and can be treated for containment and final storage in accordance with the present invention.
  • the spacer elements consist of copper. This embodiment is particularly suitable when the fuel rods are dismantled, i. H. are not arranged in the form of bundles in spacers. Spacers made of copper with the poured-in copper powder surrounding them result in a homogeneous unit without any transition points with a different structure.
  • the copper components are one by isostatic pressing at a temperature lower than that used in the final pressing Subjected to creep.
  • the copper components are either arranged in the sealed, gas-tight capsule that is used in the final pressing, or they are - if the capsule is not used - arranged in such a way that the lid is connected to the container in a gastight manner.
  • a pressure of at least 10 MPa and a temperature of 300-500 ° C is preferably used.
  • the copper parts By isostatically pressing the copper parts in this way at a temperature lower than the temperature used in the final assembly of the parts, one obtains an effective support pressure on the fuel rods of the fuel rods during further heating.
  • This can eliminate or at least substantially reduce the risk that the gas in the fuel pipes, when heated further to the temperature required for the formation of a coherent unit from the copper constituents powder, container and lid, causes such a pressure that in an expansion fracture occurs in the fuel pipes.
  • the fuel pipes contain gases, including helium and fission gases, which already have a pressure of 50-80 bar in the fuel rods at room temperature can cause.
  • a plurality of spent fuel rods 11 of a nuclear reactor are arranged in a container 10 made of copper.
  • the fuel rods which consist of circaloy tubes with uranium dioxide tablets stacked therein, remain in the spacers 12 which hold the fuel rods of each fuel bundle together in the nuclear reactor. 1 and 2, four fuel bundles 13,14,15 and 16 can be seen.
  • the fuel bundles can possibly be placed on supports, not shown, on the bottom of the container or on a bed of copper powder.
  • the container is then whole with vibration with a powder mixture 17 of 70 parts by weight of a powder with spherical particles with a diameter of 0.5-1.5 mm and 30 parts by weight of a powder with spherical particles with a diameter of 0.1-0, 2 mm filled.
  • a copper lid 18 is then placed on the container.
  • Containers, lids and powder consist of the copper quality mentioned at the beginning, which contains 99.95% Cu (including small amounts of Ag).
  • the part 19 of the lid, which rests on the container, is designed step-like.
  • the lid has a central, lower part 20 which projects into the container.
  • the abutting surfaces 10a and 18a of the container 10 and lid 18 are textured, as can be seen in FIG. 3.
  • the surfaces are cleaned well before the lid is placed on the container and freed of oxide with acid.
  • the container with lid and contents is placed in a capsule 21 made of copper sheet or sheet steel, the lid 22 made of copper sheet or sheet steel is welded tight to form a gas-tight seam 23.
  • the lid is provided with a pipe socket 24 made of copper or steel, which can be connected to a vacuum pump for the purpose of evacuating the capsule with its contents. After the evacuation, the capsule is closed by welding the pipe socket above the upper surface of the lid.
  • the capsule with content is hot isostatically pressed in two steps with a gas, e.g. B. argon, as a pressure medium in an oven for isostatic pressing of the type described in DE-A-2 747 951.
  • a gas e.g. B. argon
  • the capsule is exposed to a pressure of 80 MPa and a temperature of 450-500 ° C for 2-10 hours.
  • This causes the copper of the container, the lid and the powder to creep, which means that the filling made of the copper powder gives the fuel rods an effective support pressure, which prevents expansion fracture in the Zircaloy tubes, which could occur due to the pressure of the gas in these pipes increases with further heating.
  • this treatment does not result in the powder granules, the container and the lid forming a fully bonded unit.
  • a mixture 17 which consists of 55 parts by weight of a powder with spherical particles with a diameter of 0.8-1.0 mm and 45 parts by weight of a powder with spherical particles with a diameter of 0.2 mm and below consists. This gives a bulk density of 81% of the theoretical density.
  • the capsule 21 and its contents have been evacuated, the capsule is heated to 350 ° C., after which it is filled with hydrogen gas at a pressure of 0.1 MPa. After maintaining this temperature for half an hour, the capsule is evacuated and refilled with hydrogen gas.
  • This treatment with hydrogen gas at 350 ° C. is carried out several times, for example seven times, expediently with a successively extended treatment time, e.g.
  • the hydrogen gas treatment causes a reduction in any copper oxides that are present.
  • the capsule is evacuated and, as in the case described above, sealed.
  • the isostatic pressing takes place in the first step at 400-450 ° C and in the second step at 250 ° C. This alternative embodiment is otherwise carried out under the same conditions as in the previously described case.
  • the container 10 and the lid 18 are each provided with a flange 25 and 26, respectively.
  • the flanges 25 and 26 are joined to form a gas-tight seam 27 by welding or cold pressing.
  • the lid is provided with a pipe socket 28 made of copper, which is gastight after the evacuation of the container Degree of efficiency can be improved by using spherical powder with at least two different grain sizes.
