Problems solved by technology

According to literature reports, the binders used include polyethylene (Journal of Nuclear Materials 486 2017 246-249), ethylene copolymers (Journal of Physical Science and Application 5 2015 255-262), etc., which are characterized by a relatively low melting point. In the heat treatment process, it can be melted first, and its fluidity can be used to promote the uniform distribution of the fuel. However, since the proportion of the binder should not be too high to prevent the residual product from reacting with the uranium dioxide fuel or the metal matrix, this method can only achieve Partial uniform mixing, but cannot achieve overall high mixing uniformity

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a tungsten or molybdenum-based fuel pellet with dispersed uranium dioxide pellets. The preparation method comprises the following steps: premixing uranium dioxide microspheres and a solution obtained by dissolving a binder in a volatile solvent, and drying to obtain the uranium dioxide pellets with the binder uniformly attached to the surfaces; mixing the uranium dioxide pellet, tungsten or molybdenum-based metal powder and / or a binder, and carrying out compression molding to obtain a pellet green body; and sintering the pellet green body under aprotective gas or vacuum condition to obtain the tungsten or molybdenum-based fuel pellet with the uranium dioxide pellets dispersively distributed. Through a specific mixing process, uniform dispersion of large-granularity uranium dioxide core spheres in a tungsten or molybdenum-based metal matrix is realized.
