The correlation of the isotopic composition uranium, plutonium, neodymium, and cesium with burnup for high pressurized water reactor fuels irradiated in nuclear power reactors has been experimentally investigated. total was determined by Nd-148 fractional 235U U Pu mass spectrometric methods. compositions U, Pu, Nd, Cs after their separation from fuel samples were measured using thermal ionization spectrometry. contents these elements through an isotope dilution method 233U, 242Pu, 150Nd,...
The infrared spectra of uranium oxides (UOx) various O/U ratios (x = 2–2:667 in UOx) were measured by using ATR-FTIR order to investigate the applicability ATR technology characterization or nuclear fuel. samples prepared heating UO2 powder air atmosphere followed weighing determine gains oxygen. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns for same get information on their phases with increasing x. characteristic bands from UOx could be assigned well referring reported literature and comparing...
A determination method for 237Np in spent nuclear fuel samples was developed using an isotope dilution with 239Np as a spike. In this method, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) taken the instead of previously used alpha spectrometry. and were measured by ICP-MS gamma spectrometry, respectively. The recovery yield synthetic 95.9±9.7% (1S, n=4). contents 0.15, 0.25, 1.06 μg/mgU these values compared those from ORIGEN-2 code. fairly good agreement between measurements (m)...
Temperature-dependent variations of the interface between uranium dioxide and zirconium in UO2 -Zr systems were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The surface sample was oxidized to hyperstoichiometric UO 2+x composed U(IV), U(V), U(VI) valence states at room temperature, whereas consisting only U(IV) oxidation state appeared after annealing with zirconium. In sample, its spontaneously ZrO2 it variously changed heating sample. Furthermore, we observed a molten product α-Zr(O),...
The solubility of nickel ferrite in an aqueous solution boric acid was studied by varying the pH at temperatures ranging from 25°C to 320°C. A flow-through autoclave system specially designed and fabricated measure Fe hydrothermal solutions under high temperature pressure. performance this directly compared with conventional static state technique using a batch-type system. stability fluid velocity for verified prior measurement. influence chemical additives, such as H2, on also evaluated.
