Hi Masters.
I'm searching for control rod materials and so far I got the ones listed below. I know that the material selected for control rods should have a good absorption cross section for neutrons and have a long lifetime as an absorber. I just wonder the materials and compounds used in control rods other than listed below.
- Boron ( as B-10 and B-11)
- Boron carbide (B4C)
- Boron-stainless steel (B-SS)
- Cadmium (Cd-113)
- Silver (Ag-105, Ag-107)
- Hafnium (Hf-174, Hf-176, Hf-177, Hf-178, Hf-179, Hf-180)
- HfB2
- Indium (In-115)
- Europium
- Stellite (cobalt-chromium alloys)
- Gd2O3 (Gadolinium)
- Eu2O3 (Europium oxide)
- Dysprosium titanate (Dy2TiO5 - Is this correct ? Some sources says it is Dy2TiO7 and some other says it is Dy2TiO9)
Please inform me if any of the listed materials are wrong or if there any other materials.
I suppose there should be more compounds but I can just arrange the ones listed.
Also, if anyone knows please indicates the percentage of the compounds. For an example, if I am correct, there exist
- Ag-In-Cd as 80% Ag, 15% In, and 5% Cd
Best.
