Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing fuel particles. The method comprises the steps: supplying a spherical core, performing formation of a porous silicon carbide layer or a zirconium carbide layer on the core through chemical vapor deposition so as to obtain porous silicon carbide layer / zirconium carbide layer-coated particles, soaking the porous silicon carbide layer / zirconium carbidelayer-coated particles in an active liquid for vacuum impregnation so as to obtain compound-filled porous silicon carbide layer / zirconium carbide layer-coated particles, and decomposing compounds which are filled in the compound-filled porous silicon carbide layer / zirconium carbide layer-coated particles so as to form combustible neutron-poison oxides or thorium oxide and finally obtain the fuel particles. The invention also provides core-shell fuel particles prepared by using the method. The fuel particle safety which is stack safety is improved through coating of the silicon carbide layer orthe zirconium carbide layer outside the core, and meanwhile the stack economy can be improved through the combustible neutron-poison oxides or thorium oxide filled in the silicon carbide layer or zirconium carbide layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of nuclear fuel preparation, in particular to a method for preparing fuel particles and core-shell fuel particles obtained therefrom. Background technique [0002] As the smallest structural unit in fuel elements, fuel particles have been widely used in reactors. The preparation process of fuel particles is simple, and the risk of exposure to radioactive dust is greatly reduced during preparation, collection and transportation, and they are often evenly dispersed in non-fissile materials (matrix phase) to form a dispersed fuel core. In addition, the fuel particles have good sphericity and good jet flow pattern in the fluidized bed, often used as the core, covered with metal coating or non-metal coating, to prevent the fission products from escaping into the matrix phase, damage the matrix phase, and prolong the service life of components. For example, Nb, Ni, W, Mo, Be, and Nb-V metal coatings are coated on the surf...
