Development of the nuclear fuel materials for research reactor -Development of the advanced nuclear materials-

Abstract

This project was carried out in order to localize the fuel production and to develop the atomized uranium silicide fuels. In the fabrication part, the fuel meat was successfully cladded with good contact between meat and clad through extrusion die modification and properly controlling of extrusion parameters. The electron beam welding parameters were established properly so that the strength of welding zone showed to be same as the clad strength. The fabricating and assembling technologies of the fuel assembly have been developed and applied to the fabrication of dummy fuels. The development of coating technology on the surface of graphite crucible reduced the carbon contamination in atomized powder. In fuel performance testing part, the thermal reaction swelling tests were carried out. The results showed that the atomized fuel meat swells 30 - 40 % lower than pulverized fuel meat. The corrosion test revealed that the thickness of oxide layer ranges within the criteria of fuel safe requirement. In the fuel design part, the design criteria have been established with evaluating KMRR fuel material characteristics with respect to KMRR operation. In the hydraulic testing part, the modification of test facility and the development of the measuring instrument and data aquisition system  More>>
