1. Determination of U3O8 in UO2 by infrared spectroscopy
Abstract The oxygen-uranium (O-U) system has various oxides, such as UO2, U4O9, U3O8, and UO3. Uranium dioxide is the most important one because it is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear power plants. UO2 can have a wide stoichiometric variation due to excess or deficiency of oxygen in its crystal lattice, which can cause significant modifications of its proprie

2. Aplicação de métodos não destrutivos para qualificação de combustíveis tipo dispersão de U308-Al e U3Si2-Al no reator IEA-R1 / Application of non-destructive methods for qualification of the U3O8-Al and U3Si2-Al dispersion fuels in the IEA-R1 Reactor
IPEN/CNEN-SP manufactures fuels to be used in its nuclear research reactor the IEA-R1. To qualify those fuels, it is necessary to check if they have a good performance under irradiation. As Brazil doesnt have nuclear research reactors with high neutron fluxes, or suitable hot cells for carrying out post-irradiation examination of nuclear fuels, IPEN/CNEN-SP

3. Procedimento de fabricação de elementos combustível a base de dispersão com alta concentração de urânio / Fabrication procedures for manufacturing high uranium concentration dispersion fuel elements
IPEN-CNEN/SP developed the technology to produce the dispersion type fuel elements for research reactors and made it available for routine production. Today, the fuel produced in IPEN-CNEN/SP is limited to the uranium concentration of 3.0 gU/cm3 for U3Si2-Al dispersion-based and 2.3 gU/cm3 for U3O8-Al dispersion. The increase of uranium concentration in fuel

4. Estudos de simulação computacional do processo de redução de UF4 a Urânio metálico / computational simulation studies of the reduction process of UF4 to metallic uranium
The production of metallic uranium is essential for production of fuel elements for using in nuclear reactors manufacturing of radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals. In IPEN, metallic uranium is produced by magnesiothermical reduction of UF4. This reaction is performed in a closed graphite crucible inserted in a sealed metal reactor and no contact with the

5. Estudo do processamento do combustível UO2-7%Gd2O3 via mistura mecânica com reutilização de rejeitos do processo de fabricação e aditivo de densificação / UO 2 -7%Gd 2 O 3 FUEL PROCESS DEVELOPMENT BY MECHANICAL BLENDING WITH REPROCESSING OF WASTE PRODUCTS AND USAGE OF DENSIFICATION ADDITIVE
In the nuclear fuel cycle, reprocessing and storage of "burned" fuels, either temporary or permanent, demand high investments and, in addition, can potentially generate environmental problems. A strategy to decrease these problems is to adopt measures to reduce the amount of waste generated. The usage of integrated burnable poison based on gadolinium is a me
