Nuclear fuel technology - Sintered (U,Pu)O2 pellets - Guidance for ceramographic preparation for microstructure examination (ISO 22765:2016)

ISO 22765:2016 describes the ceramographic procedure used to prepare sintered (U,Pu)O2 pellets for qualitative and quantitative examination of the pellet microstructure.
The examinations are performed before and after thermal treatment or chemical etching.
They allow
-      observation of any cracks, intra- and intergranular pores or inclusions, and
-      measurement of the grain size, porosity and plutonium homogeneity distribution.
The mean grain diameter is measured by one of the classic methods: counting (intercept method), comparison with standard grids or typical images, etc.[2] The measurement of individual grain sizes requires uniform development of the microstructure over the entire specimen.
The plutonium cluster and pore distribution and localization are generally analysed by automatic image analysis systems. The plutonium distribution is usually revealed by chemical etching but alpha-autoradiography can also be used. The first technique avoids the tendency for autoradiography to exaggerate the size of plutonium-rich clusters due to the distance the alpha particles travel away from the source.

Kernbrennstofftechnologie - Gesinterte (U,Pu)O2-Pellets - Leitfaden für die keramographische Herstellung der Proben zur Untersuchung des Feingefüges (ISO 22765:2016)

Dieses Dokument beschreibt das keramographische Verfahren zur Vorbereitung von gesinterten (U,Pu)O2 Pellets für die qualitative und quantitative Untersuchung der Pellet Mikrostruktur.
Die Untersuchungen werden vor und nach der Wärmebehandlung oder dem chemischen Ätzen durch-geführt.
Sie ermöglichen
   die Beobachtung von jeglichen Rissen, von Poren im und zwischen dem Granulat oder von Einschlüssen und
   die Messung der Korngröße, Porosität und Homogenitätsverteilung des Plutoniums.
Der mittlere Korndurchmesser wird nach einem der klassischen Verfahren gemessen: Zählen (Intercept-Verfahren), Vergleich mit Standardrastern oder typischen Bildern usw. [2]. Die Messung einzelner Korn-größen erfordert die gleichmäßige Entwicklung der Mikrostruktur über die gesamte Probe.
Die Verteilung der Plutonium Cluster und -Poren und deren Lokalisierung werden in der Regel mit auto-matischen Bildanalysesystemen analysiert. Die Plutoniumverteilung wird in der Regel durch chemisches Ätzen festgestellt, es kann aber auch die Alpha Autoradiographie verwendet werden. Die erste Technik vermeidet die Tendenz der Autoradiographie, die Größe plutoniumreicher Cluster aufgrund des Abstandes, den die Alpha Partikel von der Quelle zurücklegen, als zu groß wiederzugeben.

Technologie du combustible nucléaire - Pastilles (U,Pu)O2 frittées - Préconisations relatives à la préparation céramographique pour examen de la microstructure (ISO 22765:2016)

ISO 18610:2016 décrit la procédure céramographique utilisée pour préparer des pastilles de (U,Pu)O2 frittées afin de réaliser des examens qualitatifs et quantitatifs de leur microstructure.
Ces examens sont réalisés avant et après un traitement thermique ou une attaque chimique.
Ils permettent:
-      l'observation d'éventuels fissures, pores inter- et intragranulaires ou inclusions; et
-      le mesurage des tailles de grains, de la porosité et de l'homogénéité de la distribution du plutonium.
Le diamètre de grain moyen est mesuré par l'une des méthodes classiques suivantes: comptage (méthode par interception), comparaison à des grilles normalisées ou des images types, etc[2]. Le mesurage des dimensions du grain requiert la révélation uniforme de la microstructure sur l'ensemble de l'échantillon.
La localisation et la distribution des pores et des agglomérats de plutonium sont en général analysées par des systèmes automatiques d'analyse des images. La distribution du plutonium est, en règle générale, mise en évidence par une attaque chimique mais il est également possible d'utiliser l'autoradiographie alpha. La première technique évite la tendance propre à l'autoradiographie, d'exagérer la taille des agglomérats riches en plutonium en raison de la distance parcourue par les particules alpha depuis la source.

Tehnologija jedrskih goriv - Sintrani peleti (U,Pu)O2 - Navodilo za pripravo keramografske preiskave mikrostrukture (ISO 22765:2016)

Keramografski postopek, ki se uporabi za pripravo sintranih peletov (U,Pu)O2 za kvalitativno in kvantitativno preiskavo mikrostrukture peletov.
Preiskave se izvedejo pred in po toplotni obdelavi ali kemičnem jedkanju.
Omogočajo:
– opažanje morebitnih razpok, intra- in intergranularnih por ali vključkov ter
– meritve velikosti zrna, poroznosti in homogenosti porazdelitve plutonija.
Povprečni premer zrna je izmerjen z eno od klasičnih metod: štetje (metoda preseka), primerjava s standardnimi mrežami ali značilnimi slikami itd.[2] Izmera velikosti posameznega zrna zahteva poenoten razvoj mikrostrukture v celotnem primerku.
Skupki plutonija in razporeditev ter lokalizacija por so običajno analizirani s samodejnimi sistemi slikovne analize. Razporeditev plutonija se običajno razkrije s kemičnim jedkanjem, lahko pa se uporabi tudi alfa avtoradiografija. S prvo tehniko se izognemo težnji avtoradiografije, da poda preveliko velikost skupkov, bogatih s plutonijem, zaradi razdalje, ki jo delci alfa prepotujejo od vira.
