Title:
MITIGATING NUCLEAR FUEL DAMAGE: NUCLEAR REACTOR AND/OR INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/231512
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Composition, manufactures, and processes of making and using them, including a neutron absorbent, having a neutron absorption cross section greater than or equal to Boron comprising at least 19.7% of Boron- 10 isotope, and a thermal conductor having a thermal conductivity of at least 10% of water thermal conductivity at 100 degrees C at sea level, combined such that the particles have a density of at least 0.9982 g/mL and not more than 2.0 g/ml. The composition can be located for release responsive to a loss of normal heat sink event and/or a loss of normal coolant event in a quantity sufficient, to palliate the loss of the normal heat sink event and/or the loss of normal coolant event.
