Abstract

The invention relates to a nuclear fuel pellet which comprises nuclear fuel materials. The nuclear fuel pellet at least comprises a first fuel zone and a second fuel zone which are arranged from inside to outside, wherein the reactivity of the nuclear fuel material of the first fuel zone is lower than that of the nuclear fuel material of the second fuel zone. The nuclear fuel with lower reactivity is arranged at the center of the nuclear fuel pellet, thereby avoiding the problem of low nuclear fuel material utilization ratio in the central zone, having the action of reducing fissible material residues in the discharge fuel, and avoiding the waste of the nuclear fuel materials.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to fuel for nuclear power plants, and more particularly, to a nuclear fuel pellet that can be used in nuclear power plants. Background technique

[0002] There are three kinds of fissile materials U233, U235 and Pu239. But only U235 exists naturally, and U233 and Pu239 need to be transformed by Th232 and U238 after absorbing a neutron. The enrichment degree of U235 in natural uranium is 0.71%, which is low. So core designers have been pursuing more efficient use of nuclear fuel.

[0003] No matter the design of the existing nuclear fuel pellets is uranium, uranium-plutonium mixture, uranium-thorium mixture, plutonium-thorium mixture, or gadolinium-containing uranium pellets, they are uniform in radial direction. The fissile material in the central area of ​​the fuel pellet is shielded by the peripheral nuclear fuel material for a long time, and the utilization rate is low, resulting in the waste of nuclear fuel in the c...
