Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to (U,Ti)O for nuclear power 2 The preparation technology of ceramic fuel pellets is a preparation method of uranium-titanium oxide mixed ceramic fuel pellets for nuclear power. Background technique [0002] Nuclear fuel elements are the core and key of nuclear reactors, and their performance directly affects the safety, reliability, economy, operating performance and service life of the reactor. In order to improve the economy of nuclear power and ease the pressure of fuel handling and disposal, high burnup and long life are the long-term pursuit goals of nuclear power plant fuel elements. However, the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident caused by the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in 2011 put forward higher requirements for the development of nuclear power fuel elements, that is, they hope to have high inherent safety. Therefore, the development goal of the new generation and future nuclear power is to improve its inherent...
