摘要

与传统的氧化型核燃料相比，碳化铀因其有潜力用于第四代反应堆而受到广泛关注。为了安全有效地利用这种先进核燃料，有必要对它的结构、体性质和缺陷形成机制充分认识，从而了解随着裂变反应的进行裂变产物对核燃料性能的影响规律。本文对铀碳系列化合物（UC、UC

和U

）实验和理论研究进行了综述，重点分析其缺陷结构下的化学和力学性能，同时对进一步的研究提出了展望。目的在于帮助核能领域的研究者厘清碳化铀的服役行为，同时为燃料设计者提供有价值的线索。

Abstract

Background

Uranium carbide has attracted extensive attention as a potential candidate for the fourth generation nuclear fuel

and it is crucial to understand its structures

bulk properties and defect formation to learn the impact of fission products on the performance of the fuels as the fission reaction proceeds for the purpose of proper and safety operation.

Purpose

This study aims to help clarify the serving behaviors of uranium carbide as well as provide valuable clues for fuel designers.

Methods

Irradiation in experiments and first-principles in theory are mostly used in the literature to analyze the point defect structures of uranium carbide nuclear fuels.

Results

The theoretical and experimental studies for uranium carbides (UC

and U

) are reviewed

chemical and mechanical properties of defective structures are analyzed emphatically and recommendations for further studies are provided.

Conclusion

All these provide new insight into the properties of carbide nuclear fuels.
