MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR PREDICTING THE QUALITY INDICATORS OF FUEL PELLETS MADE OF URANIUM DIOXIDE PRODUCED IN THE INDUSTRY

Abstract

In this paper, based on the complex of studies performed, mathematical models for predicting the quality indicators of tablets produced in the industry are developed. The resulting models can be used for desoldering powder batches and obtaining batches with the required quality indicators. The relevance of the study is due to the need to increase the stability of the quality of fuel tablets for the further development of technical achievements and better indicators. An important component of the nuclear fuel cycle is the production of fuel tablets from uranium dioxide powders. First of all, the efficiency of fuel rods and the reactor as a whole depends on the quality of the finished tablets.
