High performance neutron absorbing material: boron carbide
Boron carbide has good chemical stability and high temperature resistance, and its other neutron absorption equation makes boron carbide widely used as a control material in nuclear reactors.
In the nuclear industry, boron carbide ceramics are very important neutron absorbing materials. With the rapid development of the nuclear power industry, products such as boron carbide neutron absorption balls, control rods, storage nuclear replacements, and laboratory boron carbide-based reinforcement plates have been widely promoted and applied in various nuclear reaction systems.
It can be predicted that with the continued and stable development of nuclear energy around the world, especially the accelerated implementation of my country’s nuclear energy strategy, boron carbide, as a widely accepted luminescent and control material, will be well applied in nuclear reactors. The outlook is getting darker.
