This study propose a improved design for vol-oxidizer which is united two process into one.
This vol-oxidation device is combined type of the vol-oxidation and the decladding process. The device should have radiation-resistance to operate in intense radiation area, and should proceed the overall process quickly.
Above all we analyzed mechanical properties(slitting, ball mill, roller straightening) and chemical properties(muffle furnace, rotary kiln) of the device. As a analysis step, ball drop method, rotary type mesh, vibrators, mixing blades were selected. Also, the vacuum system is adopted for fission products.
Property analysis is made by using reactor which consist with rotary mesh. Simulating experiment with the device include powder recovery rate, oxidation time, temperature control of exothermic, scattering of powder and so on. To find the heat transfer characteristics, the experiment used the simulated fuel, and the heat loss appeared according to an interval of reactor and heating line is analysed. To examine the condition of the oxidized powder, the dry and wet particle analyse carried out.
The experimental results showed that the mesh permeability and collection rate of simulated powder improved than old vol-oxidation device, and because of the vol-oxidation is all in one structure the work time and the process is reduced. The oxidation and recovery mechanisms of cut fuel rod in this device carry out simultaneously, and the hull and powder could independently recovered.
