Abstract
Homogeneous aqueous solution nuclear reactors have many advantages in the production of medical isotopes. However, the fuel precipitation problem must be addressed in transitioning the technology from research to a commercial industrial environment. The turbidity value can indirectly reflect the amount of precipitation in the fuel solution. This article systematically measured the turbidity values of fuel solutions under different nitric acid concentrations, temperatures and uranium concentrations, and studied their effects on the precipitate formation of uranyl nitrate fuel, provided some help for understanding the fuel properties of homogeneous aqueous solution nuclear reactor.
