Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear fuel, in particular to a MAX-phase ceramic pipe material that can be used for nuclear fuel, a preparation method thereof, and a nuclear fuel cladding tube. Background technique [0002] After the nuclear accident, nuclear power safety has once again become the focus of international public attention, and how to further improve the safety of nuclear power, especially the safety threshold of nuclear reactors against nuclear accidents beyond the design basis, has also become an important issue for the sustainable development of nuclear energy. Accident Tolerant Fuels (ATF), a new concept of nuclear safety technology, was born under this background, and has gradually become one of the most important research topics in the world's nuclear power industry. The uranium dioxide fuel system is improved, upgraded or even fully replaced to reduce the reaction enthalpy and hydrogen generation of the cladding a...
