BeO Utilization in Reactors for the Improvement of Extreme Reactor Environments - A Review

Ceramic material is one of the essential materials used in reactors. Beryllium oxide ceramics have good high-temperature radiation stability, high density, strength, and thermal conductivity at temperatures, price beryllium relatively moderate. This makes it more suitable for use as a reflector, moderator, dispersion phase fuel matrix reactor. In recent years, has attracted widespread attention due to its hardness, resistivity, conductivity, melting point, resistance. Because excellent mechanical properties, also long history field nuclear energy. Reactor extreme environments become significant challenge optimizing reactor operation safety performance. The utilization can significantly alleviate environments. According research, coupling effectively improve fuels' such uranium dioxide. resistance neutron scattering which increases applications article comprehensively reviews BeO approaches reactors current future design optimization.
