Radiation-induced preparation of uranium and thorium oxides
Original language description
Photo- and radiation-induced preparation of nanocrystalline uranium and/or thorium oxides and their subsequent pelletizing has been investigated. The preparative method was based on radiation- (UV radiation, accelerated electrons, gamma radiation) induced formation of amorphous precursors in aqueous solutions containing uranyl and/or thorium nitrate and ammonium formate. The prepared precursors were carbon free, thus allowing direct heat treatment in reducing atmosphere without pre-treatment in the air.Subsequent heat treatment of amorphous solid precursors at 300?700 °C yielded UO2, ThO2 or solid (Th,U)O2 solutions with high purity and linear crystallite size of 3?51 nm. The prepared oxides were pelletized without any binder (pressure 500 MPa), the green pellets were subsequently sintered at 1300 °C under a 20Ar:1H2 mixture (UO2 and (Th,U)O2 pellets) or at 1600 °C in ambient air (ThO2 pellets). The theoretical density of the sintered pellets varied from 90 to 97 %. Therefore, the pho
