Abstract

The invention relates to a full ceramic type covering fuel particle, a preparation method of the full ceramic type covering fuel particle and a fuel element prepared from the full ceramic type covering fuel particle. The full ceramic type covering fuel particle comprises a nuclear fuel core, a loose silicon carbide layer, a silicon carbide transition layer and a compact silicon carbide layer, wherein the loose silicon carbide layer, the silicon carbide transition layer and the compact silicon carbide layer sequentially cover the outside of the nuclear core. The full ceramic type fuel element is prepared by dispersing and distributing covering fuel particles in a silicon carbide substrate. When the fuel element provided by the invention is used, the problems of oxidation and corrosion of the existing covering fuel particles and the fuel element during air and water injection under the condition of reactor accidents can be solved. The fuel element can be used for the reactor types such as high-temperature air-cooled reactors, gas-cooled fast reactors, molten salt reactors, space reactors and pressurized water reactors.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of nuclear fuel elements, in particular to a novel silicon carbide-based all-ceramic coated fuel particle, a preparation method thereof, and a nuclear fuel element prepared therefrom. Background technique [0002] At present, the fourth-generation reactors represented by high-temperature gas-cooled reactors use coated fuel particles as the main component of fuel elements, and the coated fuel particles are dispersed in graphite matrix to form fuel elements. The coating layer covering the fuel particles is a loose pyrolytic carbon layer, an inner dense pyrolytic carbon layer, a silicon carbide layer, and an outer dense pyrolytic carbon layer from the inside to the outside. Due to the excellent high-temperature mechanical properties of silicon carbide, this coating structure can effectively bind the fission products inside the coating particles, ensuring the safety of the reactor under normal working conditions, especial...
