  1. 1. Metallic residues after hydriding of zirconium

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Patrik Andersson; Carl-Magnus Arvhult; [2012]
    Keywords : zirconium hydride; ZrH; nuclear fuel; nitride; metallic residues; hydriding; hydrogenation;

    Abstract : As a part of the production of nitride nuclear fuel for use in fast nuclear reactors, zirconium is hydrided followed by nitriding and mixing with uranium nitride. This work concludes a study of unwanted metallic particles present in a powder that is supposed to be a zirconium hydride. READ MORE

  3. 2. Manufacturing methods for (U-Zr)N-fuels

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Tobias Hollmer; [2011]
    Keywords : nuclear fuel; nitride fuel; uranium nitride; zirconium nitride; spark plasma sintering; solid solution; reaction kinetics; hydriding; nitriding; denitriding; uranium hydride; zirconium hydride; uranium zirconium alloy;

    Abstract : In this work a manufacturing method for UN, ZrN and (U,Zr)N pellets was established at the nuclear fuel laboratory at KTH Stockholm/Sweden, which consists of the production of nitride powders and their sintering into pellets by spark plasma sintering. The nitride powders were produced by the hydriding-nitriding route using pure metal as starting material. READ MORE
