Abstract
A hybrid route combining internal gelation and a single-step infiltration was investigated to prepare U1-yNdyO2-x sintered microspheres as a surrogate for U1-yAmyO2-x transmutation targets. This simplified procedure eliminates the use of successive infiltration and re-calcination steps to reach higher dopant concentrations. The use of starch as a pore-forming agent in the internal gelation process for fabricating porous uranium oxide microspheres has been studied in detail to improve the conditions for an efficient infiltration with dopant solution. While the crystalline structure and composition of dried microspheres was not significantly affected by the process conditions, the onset of the UO3 to U3O8 phase transforma-tion during calcination is shifted from 803 K to 823 K when starch was used. Biphasic mixtures of beta-UO3 and alpha-U3O8 were formed when calcination temperatures between 833 and 853 K were applied. High ac-cessible porosity levels (26-33%) were measured after calcination, and this resulted in efficient infiltration behavior allowing to reach average dopant levels up to y = 30 mol% after sintering. Microstructural fea-tures of the sintered microspheres (grain size, porosity distribution, dopant homogeneity) are discussed.(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
  • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
  • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
  • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
  • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
