The transport of UO2 in the reactor coolant system, and subsequent deposition of this material in the graphite, is of interest due to the potential to influence the application of the Graphite Isotope Ratio Method (GIRM). GIRM was developed to validate the declared operation of graphite moderated reactors. Uranium impurities in nuclear grade graphite are one of several possible indicator elements that can be used for a GIRM assessment. During fuel failures, uranium metal in the fuel is exposed to the CO2 coolant and oxidizes as either UO2 or U3O8. Measurements in adjacent fuel channels indicate that CO2 coolant readily flows through the porous graphite moderator blocks. Therefore, the potential exists for the coolant gas to transport UO2 particles, as an aerosol, into the porous graphite, thereby invalidating uranium as an indicator element.

  • 3 - 20 Progress in Fabrication of UC Ceramic Nuclear Fuels
    · 56 · IMP & HIRFL Annual Report 2018 formation of such carbonyl complexes. Reference [1] Y. Wang, S. W. Cao, J. C. Zhang, et al., Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 21(2019)7147. [2] Y. Wang, Y. Wittwer, J. Zhang, et al., PSI Annual Report, (2019). 3 - 20 Progress in Fabrication of UC Ceramic Nuclear Fuels Tian Wei and Qin Zhi Uranium dioxide nuclear fuel has been widely used in pressurized water reactors (PWR), because of its high melting point, isotropic expansion, excellent radiation behaviors and mechanical properties[1]. However, it is easy to embrittlement and the thermal conductivity is quite low. Compared with traditional uranium oxides nuclear fuel, the uranium carbide has extremely high hardness and no phase transition occurs in wide temperature range[2]. The thermal conductivity, density and uranium fraction of UC is 21.7 W/(m·K) (1 237 K), 13.63 g/cm3 and 95.2% respectively, which are much higher than that of UO2. Uranium carbide ceramic fuel has been considered as a potential candidate nuclear fuel for the next-generation fast-neutron reactors, especially for the Accelerator-Driven Systems (ADS). Based on the accelerator driven recycling used nuclear fuel, uranium carbide can recrystallize with plutonium (Pu) and minor actinides (MAs). Therefore uranium carbide is chosen as the fuel format in ADS. Uniform sized ceramic UC microspheres with a diameter of (675 10) µm were successfully fabricated by an improved microwave-assisted rapid internal gelation process combined with carbothermic reduction (Fig. 1). First of all, the nanoparticle carbon was dispersed into the HMUR stock solution, and the C-UO3·2 H2O gelled microspheres were prepared using an improved microwave-assisted internal gelation process without cooling the initial stock solutions.

  • Comparative Study on Precipitation Methods of Yellow
    Precipitation and purification of uranium from rock phosphate Elshafeea H. Y. Abow Slama1, Etemad Ebraheem2 and Adam K. Sam1 1Sudan Atomic Energy Commission P.O. Box 3001, Khartoum-Sudan 2 Sinner University ABSTRACT This study was carried-out to leach uranium from rock phosphate using sulphuric acid in the presence of potassium chlorate as an oxidant and to investigate the relative purity of different forms of yellow cakes produced with ammonia {( NH 4 )2 U2O7 }, magnesia (UO3.xH 2O ) and sodium hydroxide Na2U 2O7 as precipitants, as well as purification of the products with TBP extraction and matching its impurity levels with specifications of the commercial products. Alpha-particle spectrometry was used for determination of activity concentration of uranium isotopes (234U and 238U) in rock phosphate, resulting green phosphoric acid solution, and in different forms of the yellow cake from which the equivalent mass concentration of uranium was deduced. Likewise, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) was used for determination of impurities (Pb, Ni, Cd, Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu). On the average, the equivalent mass concentration of uranium was 119.38±79.66 ppm (rock phosphate) and 57.85±20.46 ppm (green solution) with corresponding low percent of dissolution (48%) which is considered low. The isotopic ratio (234U: 238U) in all stages of hydrometallurgical process was not much differ from unity indicating lack of fractionation. Upon comparing the levels of impurities in different form of crude yellow cakes, it was found that the lowest levels were measured in UO3.xH2O. This implies that saturated magnesia is least aggressive relative to other precipitants and gives relatively pure crude cake.

  • Preparation of Uranium Carbonitride by Reaction of UC with Ammonia
    Journal of NUCLEARSCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY,5[8], p. 414~418 (August 1968). Preparation of Uranium Carbonitride by Reaction of UC with Ammonia Yumi AKIMOTO* and Koji TANAKA* Received January 24, 1968 Revised April 11, 1968 With the view to establishing a method of directly converting uranium carbide into uranium carbonitride and hydrocarbons, an attempt has been made to induce reaction between UC and am- monia under various temperatures from 25d to 600dc and pressures from 1 to 1,500 kg/cm2. The reaction aimed at was realized to the extent of practical significance under pressures exceeding 500 kg/cm2 at 450dc and exceeding 250 kg/cm2 at 500dc. The hydrocarbons produced thereby were found to be mainly methane, indicating that the formula of the predominant reaction was UC+NH3 -> UN2-x+CH4+H2. Upon heating the powdery fine black product to 1,800dc in vacuo, unexpectedly marked sinter- ing was found to occur, resulting in dense uranium monocarbonitride without any compaction pre- treatment. carbon is also reported. I. INTRODUCTION Another commonly known nitriding reac- Uranium mononitride (UN), and uranium tion is that between uranium carbides and carbonitride (UC1-xNx) have attracted much nitrogen, to result in a pulverized mixture of attention as possible fuel materials with quali- higher uranium nitrides and carbon(6)(7): ties surpassing uranium carbide (UC) with 2UC+3/2N2=U2N3+2C.

From the standpoint This reaction also fails to serve the purpose of fuel cost however, UN and UC1-xNx still of producing UN or UC1-xNx because carbon, yield to UC because the process at present once produced, cannot easily be separated available for the preparation of pure UN and from the nitride.
