product details

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Boron (B) has two stable isotopes: 10B and 11B, and their abundance in nature is about 19.8% and 80.2%. Boric acid-10B has a very strong ability to absorb neutrons and is widely used in nuclear power, military equipment, modern industry and medicine. Among them, enriched boric acid-10B is used in the nuclear industry as a good neutron absorber. Compared with naturally abundant boric acid, it has a very significant advantage: it can greatly increase the concentration of 10B in the reactor cooling system and reduce the overall amount of boric acid. Related studies have shown that the benefits of increased 10B concentration are: enhancing reactor capacity, increasing the use of MOX fuel (mixed oxide), increasing circulation and combustion cycles, reducing fuel consumption in each cycle, and greatly reducing waste liquid treatment costs, the final fuel costs, and intermediate and final storage costs.

USE

1. Nuclear industry: In the nuclear industry, boric acid 10 is mainly used in the safety and control systems of nuclear power plants. It is a highly efficient thermal neutron absorber that can adjust the reactivity of nuclear reactors and ensure that the neutron shielding function of the nuclear reactor cooling system is efficient and safe, thereby improving the safety and flexibility of nuclear power plant operation. In addition, boric acid 10 can also be used as a core raw material for nuclear reactor control rods to improve the level of nuclear reactor reaction intensity control. In the storage and transportation of nuclear waste, boric acid 10 is used as a neutron shielding material to effectively prevent nuclear proliferation and make nuclear waste treatment more efficient, safe and reliable.

2. Medical treatment: Boric acid is mainly used in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). Boron-containing compounds (such as boric acid) are introduced into tumor cells, and then low-energy neutrons are used to irradiate the tumor site. After capturing neutrons, boron-10 atoms will release high-energy alpha particles and lithium-7 atoms, thereby destroying tumor cell DNA and achieving the purpose of treatment.

3. Defense industry and electronics industry: Boric acid 10 is an ideal reactor control and radiation shielding material in nuclear submarines, nuclear aircraft carriers and other nuclear power plants. It can also be combined with other materials such as iron, aluminum, polyethylene, etc. to make boron-10 steel and boron-10 fiber, and further used in the production of armor and nuclear radiation protection clothing and neutron protection clothing to ensure the safety of national defense equipment and operators.
