Study of plasmachemical synthesis of nanostructured oxide compounds for accident tolerant fuel
One of the promising directions for the further development of nuclear energy is the use of accident-tolerant nuclear fuel containing inclusions of fissile metal oxides uniformly distributed in an oxide matrix having a high thermal conductivity and a small capture cross section of thermal neutrons. The applied methods for obtaining oxide compounds are multi-stage, do not provide uniform distribution and the required composition of the phases, and have high energy and labor costs. A plasmachemical synthesis of nanostructured oxide compounds from dispersed water-organic nitrate solutions is proposed. It provides a significant reduction in energy consumption, uniform distribution and the required composition of the phases.
