Dysprosium hafnate and hafnium hydride are promising neutron-absorbing materials for control rods in nuclear reactors. They are characterized by high structural and dimensional stability under irradiation and efficient neutron absorption in thermal and fast neutron spectra.
The developed manufacturing methods enable the production of tablets with maximum density, minimal stress, and no cracking.
- These materials offer fundamentally new possibilities for existing nuclear power plants, prospective thermal neutron reactors, and sodium-cooled fast neutron reactors
