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 method for preparing tungsten or molybdenum-based fuel pellets dispersedly distributed with uranium dioxide core balls. After drying, a uranium dioxide core ball with a binder evenly attached to the surface is obtained; then the uranium dioxide core ball, tungsten or molybdenum-based metal powder and / or binder are mixed, and molded to obtain a pellet body; The pellet body is sintered under protective gas or vacuum conditions to obtain the tungsten or molybdenum-based fuel pellets dispersed with uranium dioxide pellets. The invention realizes the uniform dispersion of large-sized uranium dioxide core balls in the tungsten or molybdenum-based metal matrix through a specific mixing process.
