Problems solved by technology

At present, the burnable poisons of coated particles are mainly oxides, including europium oxide (Eu 2 o 3 ) and erbium oxide (Er 2 o 3 ), oxide burnable poisons are generally directly co-fired with nuclear fuel or physically coated on the surface of fuel particles (because there is no suitable precursor, it is difficult to prepare oxide burnable poison layers by fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition), and then coated with high temperature particles Desorption is easy to occur during the coating process, and the stability of oxides in reducing environments is poor

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention relates to the field of nuclear fuel, and concretely relates to a combustible poison coating layer-containing coated fuel particle, a pellet, a fuel element, and a preparation method of the coated fuel particle. The coated fuel particle provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises a ceramic fuel core, and a boron-containing combustible poison layer and a functional layer which sequentially coat the ceramic fuel core; and the functional layer comprises one or more of a loose layer, an inner transition layer, a carbide coating layer and an environmental protection layer. According to the coated fuel particle provided by the embodiment of the invention, the boride combustible poison layer can absorb neutrons and adjust reactivity, the coated fuel particle is suitable for power adjustment of different positions in a reactor core, and a boron material is relatively common, so the neutron economy and safety of the reactor are improved. In addition, the boride combustible poison can be prepared by a fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition method and is not easy to desorb; and continuous deposition preparation of each coating layer can be realized in a vertical fluidized bed, so that industrial mass production is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of nuclear fuel, in particular to a coated fuel particle containing a burnable poison coating layer, a pellet, a fuel element and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The high-temperature gas-cooled reactor is one of the fourth-generation advanced reactor types. Its distinctive feature is inherent safety, which comes from the use of all-ceramic coated fuel particles. The all-ceramic coated fuel particles include a nuclear fuel core and a loose pyrolytic carbon layer, an inner dense pyrolytic carbon layer, a silicon carbide layer and an outer dense pyrolytic carbon layer that are sequentially coated on the outside. Coated fuel particles constitute a micro-pressure vessel, which can effectively resist the release of gas or solid fission products. [0003] The fuel element can be further constructed by the coating particles dispersed in the graphite matrix. Generally speaking, there are two forms...
