Abstract:
Micro nuclear battery is the perfect power of space craft equipment.
63Ni is the core operation material of the
63Ni battery. It can produce radioisotope
63Ni while high abundance
62Ni is irradiated in the reactor. In order to meet the requirements of the abundance and the purity, research of the separation for
62Ni isotope was developed. The magnetic field and beam transmission status were simulated. The improvement designs of the ion source and the collector pocket were carried out. The process flow of high abundance
62Ni using electromagnetic separation method was established. The experiment of
62Ni isotope was developed by using electromagnetism isotope separator. The results show that the enrichment of
62Ni isotope is more than 90%.
