Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing nuclear-grade boron carbide pellets for high-temperature gas-cooled reactor control rods. Using nuclear-grade boron carbide powder as a raw material, a large-size nuclear-grade boron carbide pellet for high-temperature gas-cooled reactor control rods is prepared through nine steps of mixing, drying, granulation, steel mold forming, cold isostatic pressing, green body processing, degreasing, sintering, and machining. The large-size boron carbide pellets can be produced in batches and have a near-net size. The pressureless sintering process replaces the hot-pressing process to solve the problem The problem of high production cost and low efficiency of block production can be directly used in the production of boron carbide pellets for high temperature gas-cooled reactor control rods.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the preparation technology of nuclear materials and ceramic materials, in particular to a method for preparing nuclear-grade boron carbide pellets for high-temperature gas-cooled reactor control rods. Background technique [0002] High-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plants use boron carbide pellets as the neutron absorbing material for control rods. There are 8 specifications of boron carbide pellets for boron carbide control rods. Type, there are 6 bosses connected to the core block at the end of the outer rod, the shape is more complicated, and the boron carbide impurity content is required to be nuclear grade. According to the literature "High temperature gas-cooled reactor control rod B 4 Development of C Pellets” reported that Mudanjiang Diamond Company has developed nuclear-grade boron carbide pellets for control rods for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors by hot pressing. The batch is small, and a total ...
