Problems solved by technology

But graphene and UO 2 The density and other physical properties vary greatly, making it difficult for graphene to be uniformly doped into UO 2 In pellets (relevant foreign research mainly adopts physical mixing and spark plasma sintering technology, there are problems such as uniformity and low production efficiency; domestic reports use graphene doped UO 2 Pellets, which require ultrasonic dispersion during mixing
However, graphene is very prone to segregation and agglomeration problems, which will affect the uniformity of the powder, so graphene is directly used to prepare uniformly doped UO 2 Pellets are difficult)

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear fuel preparation, and relates to a method for preparing uranium dioxide composite fuel pellets by doping graphene oxide. Background technique [0002] At present, ceramic uranium dioxide pellets are widely used as reactor fuel in the world. Ceramic uranium dioxide has many advantages, such as good nuclear physical properties, good radiation stability, high melting point of 2800 ° C, only one crystal form within the melting point, and isotropy. However, the thermal conductivity of ceramic uranium dioxide is only one tenth of that of metal uranium, and the thermal conductivity decreases with the increase of temperature. At the core temperature, if the heat transfer from the pellets to the coolant is not smooth, it is easy to cause local overheating of the pellets, resulting in swelling and rupture of the cladding. [0003] In order to improve the thermal conductivity of fuel pellets and improve th...
