Abstract

The invention relates to a continuous heat treatment equipment and method for spherical fuel elements, including a furnace body, a heating and heat preservation system, a temperature control system, a loading and unloading system, a vacuum system, a waste discharge system, a process gas system, a pneumatic system, a water system, and an exhaust gas system. Combustion system and electrical control system to realize the continuous heat treatment of low temperature carbonization and high temperature purification of spherical fuel elements in the same equipment. The equipment and method can not only be used for continuous heat treatment of spherical fuel element green bodies, but also can be used for the preparation of matrix graphite ball products, realizing low-temperature carbonization and high-temperature purification in the same equipment, reducing material reversing, and the heat treatment time of spherical fuel elements is reduced by About 90 hours of original separate and separate processing is shortened to about 50 hours of continuous heat treatment, which can increase the production efficiency by 44.4%.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear fuel preparation, in particular to equipment and a method for continuous heat treatment of spherical fuel elements. Background technique

[0002] In the prior art, the diameter of the spherical fuel element used in the pebble bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor in my country is about 60mm, and the whole is a graphite matrix. - 12,000 coated fuel particles (TRISO particles) of approximately 1 mm diameter dispersed in a graphite matrix to form a fuel zone. Spherical fuel elements after compression molding need to be processed through carbonization and purification processes. Carbonization treatment is under the protection of argon, heated to 800°C under a certain heating condition, so that the binder is cracked and coked to form a binder coke bridge, and the aggregate particles are firmly combined. Purification treatment is to place the carbonized spherical fuel element in the furnace, heat it ...
