Preparation process and performance of graphene oxide-doped UO2 pellets

open access: yesHe jishu
BackgroundUranium dioxide (UO2) has been broadly employed as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors. However, the poor thermal conductivity of UO2 compromises the safety of the reactor owing to possible sharp temperature gradients.

A statistical approach for modelling the effect of hot press conditions on the mechanical strength properties of HTGR fuel elements

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2022
The high temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) are the next-generation reactors with high safety, because the cores of HTGRs would not melt. But it is important to improve the oxidation resistance of the fuel in case of a huge oxygen ingress into the ...

Outcomes of the “steady-state crisis” experiment in the MIR reactor channel [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Energy and Technology, 2019
To license nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants, data on the behavior of fuel elements (FE) under design-basis accidents are required. These data are obtained during tests of fuel assemblies (FA) and single fuel elements in research reactor channels ...

Metal Fuel Development and Verification for Prototype Generation IV Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2016
Metal fuel is being developed for the prototype generation-IV sodium-cooled fast reactor (PGSFR) to be built by 2028. U–Zr fuel is a driver for the initial core of the PGSFR, and U–transuranics (TRU)–Zr fuel will gradually replace U–Zr fuel through its ...
