Abstract

In this study, the effects of the variables on sintering of simulated fuel to simulate the spent fuel are described. Mainly, the effects of compaction pressure, sintering temperature and time on the density of pellet are described. The experimental is performed with compaction pressure of 1 ton/$\textrm{cm}^2$~4 ton/$\textrm{cm}^2$, sintering temperature of 167$0^{\circ}C$, 173$0^{\circ}C$ and 178$0^{\circ}C$ and sintering time of 4 hr, 8 hr and 24 hr. The green density of simulated fuel is proportional to the one third power of compaction pressure and the sintered density is 90.5~99.6% of theoretical density. The grain growth exponent and activation energy of simulated fuel is 2.5 and 287.97 kJ/mol, respectively.

본 연구에서는 경수로 사용후핵연료를 모사하는 모의 핵연료 제조 공정 중 소결체 특성에 미치는 변수들의 영향에 관하여 기술하였다. 주로 성형압, 소결 온도 및 시간이 소결체의 밀도에 미치는 영향에 관하여 분석하였다. 성형압은 1 ton/$\textrm{cm}^2$에서 4ton/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 소결 온도는 167$0^{\circ}C$, 173$0^{\circ}C$, 178$0^{\circ}C$, 소결 시간은 4시간, 8시간, 24시간으로 변화시키면서 실험을 수행하였다. 성형밀도는 성형압의 1/3승에 비례하며, 이론 밀도의 약 90.5%에서 99.6%까지의 소결 밀도를 갖는 모의 핵연료를 제조하였다. 결정립 성장지수와 활성화에너지는 각각 2.5와 287.97kJ/mo1 이었다.
