Abstract:
Provided herein is a control method for volume fraction of multistructural isotropic fuel particles in a fully ceramic microencapsulated nuclear fuel including: preparing a mixture of silicon carbide, sintering additives, and organic binders, producing a coating body by coating multistructural isotropic fuel particles by using the prepared mixture, forming the coating body, and performing pressureless sintering on the formed coating body, wherein volume fraction of multistructural isotropic nuclear fuel particles may be controlled by controlling the coating layer thickness on multistructural isotropic nuclear fuel particles, wherein the coating layer was configured with a mixture of silicon carbide, sintering additives, and organic binders. As described above, stability and tolerance against nuclear fuel related accidents may be significantly enhanced, and advantageous effects of enabling a pressureless sintering procedure to be performed while maximizing volume fraction of the multistructural isotropic fuel particles may be expected.
