6 results about "Nuclear fuel cycle" patented technology

The nuclear fuel cycle, also called nuclear fuel chain, is the progression of nuclear fuel through a series of differing stages. It consists of steps in the front end, which are the preparation of the fuel, steps in the service period in which the fuel is used during reactor operation, and steps in the back end, which are necessary to safely manage, contain, and either reprocess or dispose of spent nuclear fuel. If spent fuel is not reprocessed, the fuel cycle is referred to as an open fuel cycle (or a once-through fuel cycle); if the spent fuel is reprocessed, it is referred to as a closed fuel cycle.

Hierarchical pressure monitoring and depressurization of high burnup spent fuel cask operations

This invention discloses a method for operating a high-burnup spent fuel transfer container with graded pressure monitoring and depressurization, belonging to the field of nuclear fuel cycle technology, and includes three stages: loading, transfer, and unloading. In the loading stage, the container is connected to the loading well through-hole and filled with water to balance the water level before loading fuel. After completion, leakage testing and radiation monitoring are performed. In the transfer stage, a qualified container is transported as a whole to the target facility using a tractor. In the unloading stage, before opening the lid, the pressure in the lid chamber and inner chamber is detected via a quick-connect coupling. If overpressure occurs, the pressure is controlled by connecting to the facility's exhaust gas system. After fuel assembly damage monitoring, the container's inner cavity is cooled and cleaned. Subsequent steps include precise positioning, inner lid disassembly and cleaning for protection, and closed-loop recording. This method solves the problems of low positioning efficiency, high high-altitude risks, high personnel radiation dose, and equipment vulnerability in existing operations. It achieves graded pressure control and systematic pollution prevention and control, improving the safety, accuracy, and efficiency of operations, and has strong compatibility with existing facilities.

A method for recovering plutonium from destructive analytical waste liquid of complex systems includes the following steps: S1: containing C2O4 2‑ Waste liquid containing SO4 was added to H2O2 solution. 2‑ and PO4 3‑ The waste liquid was treated with Fe(NO3)3 solution; the two solutions were combined and the acidity was adjusted to (7-8) mol / L; S2: Sodium nitrite was added to oxidize plutonium to plutonium(IV), and then plutonium was extracted from the aqueous phase at a certain ratio and acidity, followed by back-extraction at a certain ratio to obtain a plutonium solution; S3: The plutonium solution obtained in S2 was adjusted in valence and acidity, and plutonium was recovered by column separation. This invention can solve the problem of plutonium recovery from destructive analytical waste liquid containing complex anions during the nuclear fuel cycle, effectively reducing the loss of nuclear materials. The collected waste liquid was treated using a waste liquid pretreatment-extraction / back-extraction-column separation process, and the final plutonium recovery rate was greater than 90%.
