Currently, the domestic Pu-238 Supply Program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory produces neptunium dioxide (NpO<sub>2</sub>) for target material using a modified direct denitration (MDD) flowsheet. Although the chemistry, reaction mechanisms, and product characteristics of MDD are well understood for uranium, corresponding studies of the neptunium system are still needed to continue optimization of target material properties, production equipment design, and production flowsheets. The objective of this work is to characterize crystalline phases, morphology, surface texture, and particle size of NpO<sub>2</sub> produced via MDD reactions. Solid-phase characterization techniques, including powder X-ray diffraction (pXRD) and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), were employed to achieve this objective. Subsequent data processing using the Morphological Analysis for Material Attribution (MAMA) software was performed to analyze particle morphology and size. Broadly, the powders were found to contain a mixture of NpO<sub>2</sub> and Np<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> after denitration with a variety of morphologies. After high-firing, the product was found to be NpO<sub>2</sub> with a typical polycrystalline oxide morphology and a grain size ranging from 0.72 to 0.94 µm. These analyses provide knowledge on the reaction pathway for a non-traditional NpO<sub>2</sub> synthesis method and offer additional unique insight into production-scale environments for transuranic materials.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nuclear Materials","volume":"587 ","pages":"Article 154704"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"3405672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the past years, various compositions have been studied to assess their mechanical properties, structural integrity, and radiation damage resistance. However, the microstructure and phase composition of FeCrAl-ODS steels with the addition of different alloying elements are less commonly studied than pure FeCrAl alloys. The paper presents a novel research path for developing FeCrAl matrix ODS steels with Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, Ti, and V additions. The materials synthesis consisted of mechanical alloying of pure metallic components with yttrium oxide in a planetary ball mill under an argon atmosphere. Titanium was added in the amount of 1.0 wt.% to both samples, while 0.5 wt.% of vanadium was added to one sample to verify its impact on the structural stability and hardness. The spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique was used to consolidate the powders. Afterward, the microstructure, chemical composition, phase composition, and hardness were assessed using SEM-EDS, EBSD, TEM-EDS, XRD, XRF, Nanoindentation, and Vickers microhardness. The experimental data reveal rather homogeneous powders after mechanical alloying and dense bulk samples after SPS. The microstructure observations show oxide particles and carbides on the grain boundaries and inside grains of the bcc matrix, which suggests elevated radiation damage resistance. The presence of nanoscale oxide particles (15–50 nm) in the matrix could significantly reduce the impact of aging embrittlement at high temperatures by affecting the chromium diffusion pathways in the ODS steel matrix. The addition of vanadium leads to an improvement of hardness to 4.83±0.43 GPa compared to 3.78±0.34 GPa for the sample without vanadium.
