Abstract

The invention provides a metal-coated fuel and a preparation method thereof. The metal-coated fuel sequentially comprises a nuclear fuel core, a loose metal layer and a compact metal layer from insideto outside. The method comprises the following steps: S1, providing a nuclear fuel core, loading the nuclear fuel core into a high-temperature spouted bed, and introducing argon to enable the nuclearfuel core to be in a fluidized state; S2, introducing hydrogen or argon or a mixed gas of hydrogen and argon, and controlling the proportion of the precursor of the loose metal layer in the carrier gas to be 5-10% V/V, so as to coat the loose metal layer on the surface of the nuclear fuel core; S3, controlling the proportion of the precursor of the compact metal layer in the carrier gas to be 0.2-2% V/V so as to further coat the compact metal layer; and S4, stopping introducing the precursor, introducing argon, and cooling the fuel to obtain the lithium ion battery positive electrode material. The metal-coated fuel provided by the invention has the advantages of good thermal conductivity, strong fission product retention capacity, low breakage rate and the like, and can effectively improve the safety and economy of nuclear fuel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear fuel, and more particularly relates to a metal-coated fuel and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Traditional TRISO pellets consist of a fuel core and four cladding layers. The cladding layer is composed of refractory ceramic materials deposited on the surface of the core, and the four cladding layers from the inside to the outside are buffer layer, inner dense pyrolytic carbon layer, SiC layer and outer dense pyrolytic carbon layer. Each layer of cladding plays an important role in containing radioactive products, blocking internal pressure, and maintaining the integrity of the particle. [0003] However, conventional TRISO particles have many problems, such as fuel core migration caused by the amoeba effect, particle integrity damage caused by pressure shell failure, and radioactive products caused by erosion of the SiC coating by fission products (palladium) release e...
