Abstract

The invention discloses a paraffin / boron carbide neutron protection composite material and a preparation method thereof, belongs to the technical field of nuclear protection materials, and solves the problems of incompact structure, boron carbide sedimentation and agglomeration and the like during preparation by adopting a casting method in the prior art. According to the preparation method of the paraffin / boron carbide neutron protection composite material, the content of paraffin in the neutron protection composite material is 1-60wt%, and the balance is boron carbide; and the neutron protection composite material is prepared by adopting a cold isostatic pressing method. Paraffin and boron carbide are creatively adopted as raw materials, and the neutron protection composite material is prepared through the cold isostatic pressing method. The paraffin / boron carbide neutron protection composite material disclosed by the invention is uniform in boron carbide distribution, compact in structure and excellent in performance, can have double functions of slowing down and absorbing of fast neutrons, slow neutrons and thermal neutrons, and meets neutron protection requirements of special occasions of spent fuel post-treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear protection materials, and relates to a preparation method for protection materials used in nuclear radiation places such as nuclear reactor spent fuel assembly storage and radioactive material storage and transportation, and specifically relates to a paraffin / boron carbide neutron protection composite material and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] Nuclear energy is a non-petrochemical energy that is clean, low-carbon, highly reliable, and can be used on a large scale. It is an important part of my country's modern energy system. With the rapid development of nuclear power in my country, the safe storage, transportation and reprocessing of a large amount of spent fuel has become an unavoidable problem. Spent fuel contains a large amount of radioactive elements, which are highly radioactive, especially at the end stage of spent fuel reprocessing. Spent fuel mainly contains fissile ...
