Aluminum cladding: 6061 aluminum projects for research reactor nuclear fuel elements passed expert technical review

According to the news from Baotou Aluminum Group, the 6061 aluminum project for research and test reactor nuclear fuel components jointly developed by Baotou Aluminum Group and China Nuclear Power Group No. 2002 Plant passed the expert technical appraisal review on the 18th.

It is understood that the expert appraisal committee of the project is composed of 9 experts from 6 units including CNNC Group's 2002 Plant, the Nuclear Industry's Second Research and Design Institute, and the China Academy of Engineering Physics. The expert group listened to the "Aluminum Coverage Study Report on the Nuclear Solid Level 6061 Special Profile Development Project for Nuclear Fuels Used in Test Reactors" and the "Application report for the aluminum plant at Tier 102 on the research and development of test reactor assemblies for aluminum grade 6061 aluminum. ” and conducted a rigorous technical review of the relevant documents.

The expert group unanimously held that the research and development of the aluminum-coated research reactor fuel assembly used 6061 aluminum to meet the technical requirements for nuclear pure aluminum, reached the domestic advanced level, and filled the gap in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with significant social benefits; The aluminum material is tested, the product performance meets the relevant technical requirements; the aluminum cladding has advanced production equipment and process technology, has good quality assurance measures, has the conditions for mass promotion and production, and meets the technical qualification requirements; at the same time, it is recommended that the two parties strengthen cooperation and implement early This product is applied to the actual production of nuclear reactors.
