Ruthenium is recovered from used nuclear fuel in an oxidizing environment by depositing the volatile RuO4 species onto a polymeric substrate.
The technologies provide additively manufactured thermal protection system.
This invention focuses on improving the ceramic yield of preceramic polymers by tuning the crosslinking process that occurs during vat photopolymerization (VP).
Sintering additives to improve densification and microstructure control of UN provides a facile approach to producing high quality nuclear fuels.
Using all polymer formulations, the PIP densification is improved almost 70% over traditional preceramic polymers and PIP material leading to cost and times saving for densifying ceramic composites made from powder or fibers.
The technologies provide a system and method of needling of veiled AS4 fabric tape.
Fiberglass, semi-structural insulation for recycled glass fiber and using a low cost silicon with pultruded rods, either fiberglass and a low cost resin, polyester for pultruded rods. It will reduce the use of wood, which is flammable, and still be structural.
Spherical powders applied to nuclear targetry for isotope production will allow for enhanced heat transfer properties, tailored thermal conductivity and minimize time required for target fabrication and post processing.
ORNL will develop an advanced high-performing RTG using a novel radioisotope heat source.
The use of Fluidized Bed Chemical Vapor Deposition to coat particles or fibers is inherently slow and capital intensive, as it requires constant modifications to the equipment to account for changes in the characteristics of the substrates to be coated.
