Abstract

High-radiation levels in casks are usually caused by the deposition of radioactive salts during the transportation of spent nuclear fuel (SNF). Sanding is a method used to get rid of these salts, although it results in mechanical corrosion. Instead, it is encouraged to use surface coating materials for corrosion mitigation, prevention, and repair. In order to function well as a coating on the steel casks used for transportation of SNF, the material is expected to have excellent thermal conductivity property in addition to its anticorrosion property. Even though epoxy has been utilized to create coating for this purpose, by adding inorganic nano-fillers like copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) to it, its characteristics can be enhanced even further. This school of thinking is supported by the proposed study, which aims to produce a variety of CuO-NPs from concentrates obtained through the density separation of waste copper dust. The different CuO-NP compositions will be employed as fillers in an epoxy matrix to produce organic-inorganic composite coatings. To better understand the heat resistance at the interfaces (i.e., interface thermal resistance) between fillers and between fillers and the matrix. Further research will be done to determine how this understanding can increase the level of agreement between experimental data and predicted thermal conduction models.
