Abstract

Method for direct coprocessing of nuclear fuels derived from a product stream of fuels reprocessing facility containing uranium, plutonium, and fission product values comprising nitrate stabilization of said stream vacuum concentration to remove water and nitrates, neutralization to form an acid deficient feed solution for the internal gelation mode of sol-gel technology, green spherule formation, recovery and treatment for loading into a fuel element by vibra packed or pellet formation technologies.

Oxidation behavior of (U,Pu)C fuel materials in air-inert gas mixtures containing 400 ppm to 20% oxygen

Conference Lewis, H D

Hyperstoichiometric (U,Pu)C samples in both powder and pelletized form were subjected to a set of experiments designed to scope the oxidation characteristics of these materials under conditions simulating exposure to a wide range of oxygen impurity in an inert atmosphere glovebox. It is demonstrated that sample oxidation rates and ''ignition'' temperature are dependent not only on particle size (or surface area) and oxygen concentration in the cover gas, but also on the rate at which oxygen is introduced into the sample environment. The conditions under which rapid oxidation and sample ''ignition'' can be induced for powder and pelletized samples aremore »« less
Process for synthesizing titanium carbide, titanium nitride and titanium carbonitride

Patent Koc, R.; Glatzmaier, G. C.

A process is disclosed for synthesizing titanium carbide, titanium nitride or titanium carbonitride. The process comprises placing particles of titanium, a titanium salt or titanium dioxide within a vessel and providing a carbon-containing atmosphere within the vessel. The vessel is heated to a pyrolysis temperature sufficient to pyrolyze the carbon to thereby coat the particles with a carbon coating. Thereafter, the carbon-coated particles are heated in an inert atmosphere to produce titanium carbide, or in a nitrogen atmosphere to produce titanium nitride or titanium carbonitride, with the heating being of a temperature and time sufficient to produce a substantially completemore » solid solution.« less
Carbide and carbonitride surface treatment method for refractory metals

Patent Meyer, G A; Schildbach, M A

A carbide and carbonitride surface treatment method for refractory metals is provided, in steps including, heating a part formed of boron, chromium, hafnium, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, titanium, tungsten or zirconium, or alloys thereof, in an evacuated chamber and then introducing reaction gases including nitrogen and hydrogen, either in elemental or water vapor form, which react with a source of elemental carbon to form carbon-containing gaseous reactants which then react with the metal part to form the desired surface layer. Apparatus for practicing the method is also provided, in the form of a carbide and carbonitride surface treatment system including amore »« less
