US scientists have achieved a breakthrough in nuclear fuel research by studying the behavior of liquid plutonium oxide at high temperatures.
The research team employed an innovative method by suspending small samples of PuO2 in a gas stream and then heating them with a laser.Scientists at the Argonne National Laboratory, which is part of the US Department of Energy, have made a significant discovery by studying how liquid plutonium oxide behaves at extremely high temperatures, up to 3,000 Kelvin.
“This allowed the team to measure the samples’ structure at temperatures as high as 3,000 K without risking sample contamination from container interactions.” They developed machine learning models to simulate how electrons behave in the system, which aims to shed light on bonding mechanisms and safety issues when using mixed oxide fuels in future nuclear
