R&D on SiC/C mixed matrix fuel element of high temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) to improve oxidation resistance of fuel has been started. In this R&D, Young's modulus of fabricated SiC/C mixed matrix dummy fuel elements was measured. In addition, set of fabrication conditions of SiC/C mixed matrix dummy fuel elements was decided for modeling of relationship between fabrication condition and strength of fabricated SiC/C mixed matrix dummy fuel elements to estimate fabrication condition for SiC/C mixed matrix fuel elements with high strength.

High temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) is a fourth generation nuclear reactor with inherent safety. In recent years, fuel elements with oxidation resistance has been developed for use in HTGR. In order to maintain the structural integrity of the oxidation resistant fuel element under accident conditions, a technique to fabricate a high-strength fuel should be required. In the present study, hot pressing conditions have been considered as the parameters which affect the strength of the oxidation resistant fuel compact, and a model has been created to predict the strength of the fuel compact from the hot pressing conditions by applying statistical approaches. The hot pressing conditions which can fabricate the high-strength oxidation resistant fuel element were also predicted by the model.

Fuel compact of high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) with inherent safety employs fuel component which was molded from graphite. Development of oxidation-resistant fuel component has been advancing at present, which is fuel component having oxidation resistance formed by SiC. In this study, mechanical properties were obtained on oxidation-resistant fuel components prepared under various molding parameters. Young's modulus was measured by ultrasonic pulse velocity test, and compressive strength was measured by compression test. High correlation was not observed between Young's modulus and hot pressing conditions of temperature and time. There was no correlation between compressive strength and hot pressing time in range of hot pressing temperature of 1573-1873 K and time of 40-120 min, but high negative correlation was observed within range of hot pressing temperatures. Therefore, it was predicted that compressive strength was increased by decreasing hot pressing temperature.
