Application of boron carbide in nuclear reactors
control materials
In nuclear reactors, boron carbide can control rod material to control the rate of nuclear fission by absorbing neutrons, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the reactor1
Luminous material
Boron carbide is also can as a reinforcement material in nuclear reactors, used to absorb materials, prevent their leakage, and protect workers and the environment.
coating material
Boron carbide coatings use in the first wall material in nuclear fusion devices. Its high temperature and corrosion resistance make it an ideal first wall material.
