Densification of matrix graphite for spherical fuel elements used in molten salt reactor via addition of green pitch coke

Green pitch coke with an average particle size of 2 μm was adopted as densifier and added to the raw materials of conventional A3-3 matrix graphite (MG) to prepare modified A3-3 matrix graphite (MMG) by the quasi-isostatic molding method. The structure, mechanical and thermal properties were assesse...
