The invention provides a uranium dioxide single crystal / nano-diamond nuclear fuel pellet and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: S1, providing a UO2single crystal; S2, carrying out heat treatment on the UO2 single crystal; S3, coating the UO2 single crystal with a coating, namely sieving the UO2 single crystal particles, selecting the UO2 singlecrystal particles with a certain particle size, and coating the surfaces of the UO2 single crystal particles with a pyrolytic carbon coatingby adopting a chemical vapor deposition method; S4, powder mixing: putting the coated UO2 single crystal particles prepared in the step S3, nano-diamond powder and a sintering agent into a mixing tank according to a certain volume ratio, and performing sealedmixing; S5, carrying out charging; and S6, densification sintering: specifically, enabling a pressed mold to be subjected to discharge plasma rapid sintering to obtain the composite fuel. According tothe method provided by the invention, the heat conductivity of the fuel pellet is obviously improved, so that the safety of the uranium dioxide fuel pellet is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear power, and aims to solve the problem of existing uranium dioxide (UO2) 2 ) The problem of low thermal conductivity of pellets, specifically relates to a uranium dioxide single crystal / nanometer diamond composite fuel and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Uranium dioxide (UO 2 ) fuel pellets have the advantages of high melting point, good high temperature stability, good chemical stability and good radiation stability, and are widely used in existing commercial reactors. However, with the operation of the reactor and the deepening of burnup, the center temperature of the fuel pellets is too high, and the thermal conductivity of uranium oxide is small, resulting in an excessive temperature gradient of the fuel, which affects the safety of the fuel. The occurrence of the Fukushima nuclear power accident in Japan in 2011 revealed the inherent safety deficiency of existing n...
