SLURRIES TO BE UTILIZED AS FERTILE MATERIAL IN NUCLEAR REACTORS
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4843847
A new fertile material is described consisting of a slurry beta -ThSi/ sub 2/ in liquid Bi or Bi alloy. The beta -ThSi/sub 2/ is prepared by heating a mixture of Th and Si containing 66.7% Si in an inert atm above 1400 deg C. This gives alpha -ThSi/sub 2/. Heating this modification at 700 to 1050 deg C, e.g. 4 hr at 850 deg C, transforms it into the beta phase. The slurry can be directly prepared by heating the matrix metal and the above-mentioned mixture of Th and Si during 40 hr at 750 deg C. (NPO)
