Enhancing Uranium-based Hydrogen Storage System Efficiency - 24360

Le résumé fourni par la source

In this paper, we explore an innovative and sustainable approach to address the challenge of nuclear waste management by repurposing depleted uranium, a byproduct of nuclear fuel production, as an efficient chemical storage medium for hydrogen. A comprehensive study is presented on the evaluation of sintered metal filters with varying pore sizes, assessing their performance in flow dynamics and filtration efficiency within a depleted uranium hydrogen storage system. The investigation focuses on understanding the impact of filter size on hydrogen flow rates and the efficacy of filtration in preventing the release of pyrophoric radioactive materials. A series of experiments were conducted to analyse the filters behaviour under different conditions. The results offer valuable insights into the intricate relationship between filter dimensions, gas flow characteristics, and containment capabilities. The findings contribute to the optimization of in-bed filtering strategies for depleted uranium-based hydrogen storage systems, shedding light on key parameters that influence system performance and safety.
