    Graphite is one of the deceleration materials and reflective materials used in nuclear reactors. Early reactors are graphite heaps. The nuclear reactor for structural materials use graphite using raw materials, process control, and finished product inspection than graphite electrodes. The nuclear reactor must have the following performance with graphite , High heat shock, good deceleration performance to fast neutron, stable size under radiation, and very small impurities. Boron, cadmium and other elements that are easy to absorb neutron should be strictly controlled.

    Nuclear graphite must have a high volume density M because the deceleration of graphite on fast neutron is relying on the collision effect of fast neutron to carbon atoms. One of the main indicators of nuclear graphite M is also directly related to the pore rate and penetration rate of graphite. In order to avoid the loss of nuclear fuel and heat carrier, M should reduce the pores and penetration rates to a certain level. Graphite's mechanical strength is also related to its volume density. Generally, the volume density of nuclear graphite used in graphite piles is 1.7-1.75g/cm. The physical indicators of general nuclear graphite abroad are as shown in Table 05.

    The nuclear reactor used for power generation is mainly because the pressure pile of graphite is not required, but experts expect high -temperature gas and cold stacks to develop promising. As a cooling agent, the gas and ceramic materials are used as the covering material of the fuel, and the graphite or carbon material is used as a reduction material and a furnace core structure. Internationally established a number of development and research on high temperature gas cold stacks
