THORIUM DISPERSION IN BISMUTH
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4048916
A method is given for preparing stable dispersions of thorium in liquid bismuth suitable for use in reactors as a source of fissionable material and as a coolant. In this method, a small amount of tellurium is incorporated in the dispersions to inhibit particle growth and deposition (due to formation of ThBi/ sub 2/) and corrosion of alloys of Fe, Co, or Ni. Such dispersions should contain 1 to 12 wt.% thorium and a quantity of tellurium amounting to 1 to 5 wt.% of the thorium. Data are presented illustrating the properties of dispersions with and without tellurium under thermal cycling conditions. (D.L.C.)
