摘要
In order to increase the radial thermal conductivity (TC) of UO2 pellets, highly-oriented graphite flakes (GFs) were first introduced to UO2 pellets by spark plasma sintering. The radial TC of GFs/UO2 agreed well with Hatta-Taya model, which was closely related to the well-bonded interface and highly-oriented structure. Compared with UO2, the radial TC of GFs/UO2 was greatly improved by about 200 % within a wide temperature range, higher than all the other reported value until now. Such enhancement in TC would significantly improve the safety of UO2 fuel pellets. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
