Abstract

The invention relates to the manufacturing technology of nuclear fuel elements, in particular to a preparation process of pellets in cobalt regulating rod assemblies used in nuclear reactors. The process of the invention comprises the following steps: (1) powder granulation; (2) powder molding; (3) pellet sintering; (4) pellet degassing and sintering. The aspect ratio of the cobalt pellets produced by the process of the present invention is greater than 4, and the hydrogen impurity content is less than 1 μg/g, which meets the preparation requirements of high aspect ratio, high density, and defect-free cobalt pellets, and meets the requirements of the cobalt regulating rod assembly in the reactor. The technical requirements of the work are suitable for batch preparation.

Description

The preparation process of cobalt pellets in cobalt regulating rod assembly technical field The present invention relates to the manufacture technology of nuclear fuel element, be specifically related to a kind of nuclear reactor core with cobalt regulating rod assembly Block preparation process. Background technique Use cobalt regulating rod to replace stainless steel regulating rod in nuclear reactor, capture neutron by cobalt-59 and obtain cobalt-60 radioactive source. The cobalt-59 pellet is the core part of the cobalt regulating rod assembly, and its quality directly affects the yield of the radioactive source and the safety of the reactor and other issues. Cobalt pellet has its special requirement: cobalt pellet size is diameter Φ 6.22mm ± 0.02mm, height 25.1mm±0.05mm, belonging to high aspect ratio; density of cobalt pellets is 8.55~8.65g / cm 3 , the density control range is narrow; the total cobalt content ≥ 99.7%, the total amount of impurities ≤ 0.3%,...
