Yttrium Discord: China's rare-earth metals initiative could trigger a crisis in the US nuclear industry

In China, the question of how to respond to the new restrictive measures introduced against the PRC by the United States of America is being discussed. Against the background of agreements on a partial reduction of duties, Washington unexpectedly announced such a restriction as a ban on the entry into the United States of scientists and graduate students from the People's Republic of China. This decision was personally made by Donald Trump and is explained as a measure of protecting US intellectual property and technology.

First of all, we are talking about the ban on entry into the United States of those Chinese scientists who, as stated, "support the course on the merger of military and civilian technologies." Particular emphasis is placed on activities related to medical and biological work.

In China, they said that such a decision was considered discriminatory and said that the US administration itself was undermining the foundations of scientific and technical cooperation.

One of the areas where China is ready to retaliate against the United States is the export of rare earth metals, without which today it is impossible to develop a number of high-tech industries.

To date, China has managed to become the largest producer of rare earth metals. In 2018, it accounted for 70-plus percent of the entire global market. At the same time, China previously noted the problem of the illegal export of rare earth metals to North America.

Thus, it is said about the export to the United States of such a rare-earth metal as yttrium, whose US reserves are not enough for the implementation of numerous projects. China is a leader in the extraction of this metal. In the USA, yttrium and its alloys are used, among other things, in the military, space, rocket and nuclear industries. According to the latest data, the development of a nuclear missile power plant based on yttrium alloy is underway. And this rare-earth material is used due to the fact that it does not interact with melts of uranium and plutonium.

A compound such as yttrium tetraboride YB is used in the US nuclear industry.₄.

This material has unique characteristics that allow it to be used as a basis for creating control rods of nuclear reactors.

If China completely closes the export of yttrium to the United States, this will cause a crisis in the entire nuclear industry. A sort of "yttrium of contention." That is why the United States decided to intensify negotiations with Japan, which also has yttrium reserves. But the problem is that the field is deep-sea, which means its development can be associated with huge costs.

I remember in the 90s such metals were simply exported from Russia in suitcases (for example, for testing))) .. And also such metals are not bad deposits in the DPRK, and due to this they stick!

Moreover, what is interesting!

It is possible that as a result of these Japanese-American negotiations - on the same yttrium - Japan, not just like that, emboldened, has recently stepped up its activity against the Russian Federation in the issue of Japan navigating into the 4 Russian Kuril Islands and almost to Sakhalin.

In exchange for such anti-Russian support of the Japanese government from the United States, Japan must clearly pay the United States with something! And I do not exclude that Japan may well pay off the United States with Japanese yttrium as well.

In the southern Kuril Islands, the deposit is not yttrium, but rhenium. But also needed sharp-earth metal.

The Japanese Kuril Islands need their own. There they have everything they need to maintain their economic standard of living.
Previously, Japan held a monopoly on high technologies in instrument and computer engineering, etc., in the Asian market. Now these technologies are possessed by South Korea and China, which moved Japan to this sales market. Japanese revenue fell. They now need to reimburse them.
Japan can maintain its former standard of living by extracting rich biological resources from the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin, as well as by extracting minerals there.
In addition, the Kuril Islands make it possible to become an excellent US military base in Japan, as the United States is not going to leave Japan and lose its geostrategic military advantage in the Pacific.

And yttrium mining under water in Japan could lead to another tsunami ...
Problems however.

[dauria]

And yttrium mining underwater in Japan ...

A strange thing ... Such elements just do not wallow in the universe.
Full of hydrogen, full of helium, nitrogen, carbon, iron and oxygen. What else is there? But gold and all sorts of heavier rubbish appears only in the depths of healthy stars. Such as our Sun can "give birth" only "consumer goods", and even then burned out.
And then what happens? What is cosmic dust heterogeneous? There is gold, there is yttrium, there is uranium ... Gathered in a lump and crashed (or stuck) to the Earth. But this is nonsense. But how else to explain the deposits? Not even, namely in China, or gold - also in specific places.
Are there geologists? Explain.

[Oyo Sarkazmi]

The earth is very lucky. While the Sun and the planets were still dust, two neutron stars crashed against each other not far off. In this case, extremely heavy elements are formed, behind the iron. Our dust cloud slowed down the radioactive envelope from this supernova, and thanks to this we have "pieces of iron" from nickel to uranium. Well, I was very lucky with the distance. A little closer, everything would be swept away, neither the Sun nor the Earth. A little further - such crumbs would have been poured - even photosynthesis had nothing to arrange.
By the way, when the Earth was already formed, uranium-235 was almost 5% in the mixture. Take it, clean it, and right into the reactor. Did not make it...

[dauria]

A little further - such crumbs would have passed - even there was nothing to arrange photosynthesis on.

Thank you, something cleared up. But it still doesn't work with deposits. I thought, as in "The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin" - they gurgled in liquid form side by side, divided by density. Then, by convection currents, a piece of a layer of gold (uranium, etc.) was captured by a jet and carried to the surface. It froze in the bark and, voila! - here's the Klondike. Yes, there is such a cocktail, yes, with a dynamo, that there would be enough time to "settle"?
Well, about "lucky" - so it's a miracle. If you add everything up, and add a meeting between mom and dad to all the accidents - you scratch your turnip and say, "Well, damn it, you give nature."

[Oyo Sarkazmi]

Deposits are hydrothermal. Lithophilic elements (with a high affinity for silicon) are dissolved in hot water (up to 700 ° C), with sulfur and silicon, and carried up. These are uranium, rare earths, light metals (lumin, magnesium). Lithophobic - gold, iron, nickel - as a rule, do not go up, they get to the surface if they are pushed out in a solid state by geological forces (indigenous deposits of gold formed 500 million - 2,5 billion years ago, and millions and hundreds of thousands of years came to the surface back).
There is a lot of yttrium in the earth's crust - 26 g per ton of soil. Only there he is - in separate atoms. And they extract it from salts, with a concentration hundreds of times greater. His price is 100 ye per kg. Not impressive, almost like whiskey (barley moonshine).

[Shkworen]

the limit of thermonuclear fusion is iron, further it is energetically disadvantageous to synthesize, therefore everything that is heavier than iron is already a product or supernovae, but there are restrictions on the mass of the star, too heavy stars can even perform a direct collapse and there won't even be a black hole, but this is rare: )
but for elements such as uranium, even a supernova may not be enough there, it is already a product of a collision of neutron stars, which is called a hypernova, the energies there are orders of magnitude higher than that of a simple supernova, and collisions of neutron stars are not such a rare phenomenon, because . 80% of the stars are paired :)

There are still different conditions for the formation of minerals (and, accordingly, deposits). Something like temperature, pressure, tectonic structure, bedding conditions, composition of hydromineral solutions. Naturally, they cannot be the same in all corners of the planet. Therefore, there are unique deposits of minerals and rocks in a single copy. For example, have you heard about the Charoite deposit in BAM? So here it is the only one in the world. And there are many such cases.
(former geologist)

[StarLey65]

On the river Char. The second unofficial name is Pushkin (in honor of Pushkin A.S.). But a similar mineral was found in Brazil. In general, each field is unique, including in the composition of the elements.

Well, the show-off must be cut!

[rotmistr60]

If the Chinese decide on such a step, then they will be able to applaud. But it is only in trade with the United States that China does not risk making sudden movements on naivety (?) Or any other considerations thinking that it will resolve itself. But it does not always resolve.

[mitrich]

China may not be making sudden movements in response to US sanctions. So we, in addition to mumble about the violation of some norms of some law, there is no answer. And there will be, at least with this power.

[Alex777]

This power has taken Crimea from under the nose of the United States.
Pipelines from KSA and Qatar through Syria to Turkey were not allowed.
Do not forget about these and many other examples.

[mitrich]

Crimea stole since almost Ukrainians brought it on a silver platter with a yellow-black patch, with their stupid actions. But Donbass was not taken away, but cut into pieces like a tail to a dog.

[Alex777]

Do you know the swing? So the more they push Svidomo in one direction, the stronger they will then fly in the opposite direction. You see.

[Alex777]

Ukrainians brought it on a silver platter with a yellow-black patch

Yes, of course.
In order for what happened to happen, workshops were made, focused efforts for a long time.
1) Secrecy was ensured. The Yankers did not suspect anything until the last. I was not too lazy, I went to their website where a tender was announced for the re-equipment of the Sevastopol school for the needs of the American Navy.
Now they figured out how much they got into a mess and therefore can not stop - they still emanate with anger and sanctions.
2) "Quite by accident", Yanukovych refused to sign the Association Agreement with Europe (just as "accidentally" he received money from Russia for this)
3) Yanukovych turned to Russia for military assistance. If he had received it, or if he had not signed a memorandum with the opposition with the ambassadors, and the opposition had not taken him out of Kiev the next day, we would not have seen Crimea as his ears.
4) Everywhere the topic was already discussed that the leaders of the coup received a harsh warning about the inadmissibility of a military reaction in the Crimea. Tymoshenko told everything.
So those who think that everything happened by itself do not understand anything about how beautifully Vladimir Vladimirovich played this "multi-move".

[NordUral]

Pipelines from KSA and Qatar through Syria to Turkey were not allowed.

What a joy.
Especially for those in Russia who are heated with wood and coal.

[Alex777]

Yes. Joy. If you do not trade and do not make a profit, then what are the chances to build ships, planes, rockets and other things useful for independence?
Or do you want us to have everything like Zelensky? Controlled by overseas?
I can say a lot about this topic. The format does not allow.
Do you personally drown with wood?

[NordUral]

First, and on what shisha did the Stalinist Union build everything?
About Zelensky is not necessary, already reduces cheekbones from boredom.
I personally - no, but there are many cities and villages, de they do it.

[Alex777]

First, and on what shisha did the Stalinist Union build everything?

You will not like my answer, but I have no other answer for you:
The Stalinist Union was a slave state.
I mean the GULAG, and "sharashki", and the lack of passports among the rural population, and mass executions, and much more.
The entire older generation has suffered from repression.
So I know how it was first hand.
The child in his hands held certificates of rehabilitation, due to the lack of corpus delicti.
Therefore, Stalin died as he died.

About Zelensky is not necessary, already reduces cheekbones from boredom.

Your cheekbones would not have been reduced so if you had lived in the Stalinist Union.

I personally - no

And I had no doubt.
I have nothing more to say to you. As it is.

[malyvalv]

It has long been proven that the cost-effectiveness of the Gulag was lower than the plinth. C / X even then, even now, even with passports, even without a breakthrough, development can not. In general, slave labor is ineffective. Therefore, one must be completely without logic in the brain in order to correlate the colossal development of the USSR under Stalin with slave labor.

[Alex777]

Enlighten the foolish due to what was a tremendous development?
Do not forget to mention the position in which you work.
To make it clear which belfry you are reasoning with.

[malyvalv]

The main factor in the development of the USSR under Stalin was the resettlement of peasants in cities with competent !!! approach to investment and generally to industrialization. All developed countries used this resource at one time and received powerful development. The last to date was China.

My parents were in the Northern Urals, too, by the will of Stalin. Father and brother, like a Volga German, with my grandmother.
And the mother’s parents were dispossessed, although they were middle peasants.
But not once have we children heard damnation from Stalin from them.
But on the day of Stalin's funeral, the whole city cried. Even I, baby, remember that.
And yet, what is important, too many of the "innocent" repressed then killed the Union.

As far as I know, large greenhouses are owned by Muscovites and are built using Dutch technology. Adygs and Circassians strive to grow according to domestic technology using chemistry to a minimum. Recently, the Circassians have been striving to enter the market through the chain stores under the brand name "Products of Caucasian Centennials". Chinese greenhouses 5 years ago lagged behind Dutch ones in terms of technology. And the Chinese showed interest in Dutch technology even through Russia. It is interesting that large numbers of greenhouses have also been built in the DPRK. Last year there was a lot of talk about the imminent famine in the DPRK. Apparently the measures taken, including the development of greenhouse technology, allowed Koreans to avoid hunger. And it would be useful for our businessmen to buy greenhouse technology from friendly Koreans, and not from hostile Dutch, for cheaper oil.

People want them to have normal cars, home appliances, good medicine and education, in addition to ammunition and stew. They want to watch domestic films and eat our food, drink our drinks. And I really want to drive a domestic car, which would be no worse than Japanese or German. But something, or someone looks at these questions differently.

We would also like to look around. More than half are Chinese, if not 90%. And everything else is Turkish, Indian, Egyptian, etc. Only their officials. And that’s not really.

Such as you passed the USSR for chewing gum, jeans, toilet paper and Hollywood films.

hehe, today I threw out American glue, the dog dried up, by the way, domestic glues were good, but for some reason bourgeois ones crawled out onto the market instead of not together

[Metlik]

And how did we respond to US sanctions?

the thief is the first to shout: 'Stop the thief!' ...

[Zomanus]

This is just a war, while the cold, between China and the United States.
Only in the United States there are also uprisings now, with possible shootings.
And do not forget about the elections, which promise to be very stormy.
Have I already spoken about the epidemic and the economic crisis?
Damn, bad year for America ...

[knn54]

Alexey, it is also worth adding an explosion (the fourth fiasco in the last six months) of the Starship interplanetary spacecraft prototype when testing the Raptor engine.

[Zomanus]

This is immaterial. There are risks of a private corporation.
The only thing is the torn farts of those
who drowned for the collapse of Russian cosmonautics in connection with this launch.

[Operator]

In fact, the reserves of rare-earth metals outside of China are enough for the development of modern industry, the problem is different - the cost of their extraction is an order of magnitude higher than the cost of mining in China.

That is, the Americans, having begun to develop subsea deposits around some of the volcanic islands of Japan, will face the uncompetitiveness of their products on the foreign market.

[Maks1995]

So they kind of wrote about six months ago. The share of China in the United States is 17%, or 27%. Yes, there are reserves of their own.
Kirsis? Hardly.

[Free wind]

And what does Japan have to do with the Mariana Islands. A rare earth deposit is located from them. This is probably an attempt at joint development.

[Avior]

China is unlikely to do so.
China is not a monopoly supplier in the market.
Just a redistribution of sales markets.
Those who used to buy, say, from Australia, will buy from China, and the States from Australians.
And if Australia can produce more, so that it is enough for the Americans, China in general is in flight.

В nuclear industry The United States uses a compound such as yttrium tetraboride YB4.

This material has unique characteristics that allow it to be used as a basis for creating control rods of nuclear reactors.

The TCR (Transformational Challenge Reactor) project was ONLY launched in 2019.

It is reported that the fuel for this reactor will be uranium nitride, and the neutron moderator yttrium hydride (YHx), which is one of the most effective moderators, but now it is not used in nuclear power plants because of its high cost.

fine-grained composites based on Y2.5Nd0.5Al5O12 garnet were developed and studied at NNGU ...

Such compounds are useful for solving problems with the reserves of plutonium and other transuranic elements (MA, minor actinides) accumulated over many years.

Yttrium tetraboride is still experimentally used as a material for controlling an atomic reactor (it has low gas evolution in helium and hydrogen).

Almost all operating nuclear power plants were built between 1967-1990,

Itrium is used here

Yttrium is one of the components of yttrium-copper-barium ceramics with the general formula YBa2Cu3O7-δ - promising high-temperature superconductor with a superconducting transition temperature of about 90 ° K.

Yttrium beryllide is one of the best structural materials for aerospace engineering.. Melting at a temperature of about 1920 ° C, it begins to oxidize in air at 1670 ° C. The specific strength of such a material is very high, and when using it as a matrix for filling with whiskers (whiskers), it is possible to create materials having unique strength and elastic characteristics.

Europium Activated Yttrium Oxosulfide Used for the Production of Phosphors in color television (red component), and activated with terbium - for black and white television.

Yttrium hexaboride has a small work function (2,22 eV) and is used for the production of cathodes of powerful electron guns (electron beam welding and cutting in vacuum).

Yttrium Orthotantalate It is synthesized and used for the production of radiopaque coatings.

Synthesized yttrium-aluminum garnets ("cigranes") (YAG), which have valuable physicochemical properties, can be used in jewelry as well, and have long been used as technologically advanced and relatively cheap solid-state lasers. An important laser material is ISHG - yttrium-scandium-gallium garnet.

Yttrium ferrite is used for the production of supercomputers, and although it is several times inferior to scandium ferrite, it is cheaper.

Yttrium Iron Hydride used as a hydrogen battery with high capacity and quite cheap.

In electronics, yttrium garnets are components of microwave radars to control high frequency signals. Laser crystals of yttrium aluminum garnet are used in industrial cutting and welding, in medicine, dentistry, photoluminescence, photochemistry, digital communications and nonlinear optics.

[Quadro]

Well, yes, that’s why dumb-headed students can’t do anything from there. Where, with their vaunted education, is nuclear power now? Would you answer? Maybe you know a super-duper secret working thermonuclear reactor and they don’t need an atom? And where are their tank factories? Why did the boasted education not help? All their abrashki are used rubbish, those capacities that can only be repaired and somehow assemble no more than 50 tanks. The worse in the SGA, the more freaky lackeys like you are furious.

Are you out of your mind ?! Massachusetts Institute of Technology and so on
SGA refers to advanced technological countries :) And the fact that there are not many distant ones, well, the RF is filled with them; here you can take for example, do you decide a lot of things ?! I'm sure not, but you consider them fools, not yourself.

Let me remind you that G. Ford has a new generation installation that does not require recharging during the entire service life, is it in other countries!? But this is not.

According to the latest data, the development of a nuclear missile power plant is underway.

Hey ?!

It has been created by them in the past and even tested. Why can't they re-create it?

I wonder what kind of unit, and not its moral component.

[Svetlana]

It would be nice to coordinate Russian titanium and Chinese rare earths.
Yes, it will hit our economy, but ..

[Polente the Wanderer]

This is unacceptable for our officials, oligarchs. It is easier to sell raw materials than to make something.
And it will not hit the economy if titanium products are used to manufacture aircraft manufactured in Russia. And then we sell raw materials, and we buy aircraft products.

The United States cut off China from US (all) technology.

Until the end of summer, they will cut off Huawei from the chips, cut off Hong Kong, like a Chinese window to America, cut off Chinese students from the best universities in the world.

For a long time, the Communists of the whole world drooled over China, saying how it overtakes the United States, when in reality there was no race.
Now, let's see what China is without the American market, American technology, American investment and American science.

[Polente the Wanderer]

they can cut us off at any moment from everything, including the Internet. China itself will produce everything that is needed if there are no deliveries from other countries.

Sausage, half the world is already dependent on Chinese technology and the United States has long lagged behind in pace of development. They rely only on what they managed to plunder on the remains of the USSR. All phones are assembled in China, all computers too, China has a sea of ​​supercomputers, various electronics and engines are also produced there. But you have all the kholuy-podpendoskih speeches about the fact that the hehemon will still show! In the meantime, it is clear that he can’t even figure it out for himself.

China threatens a lot, rarely acts. His economy is built by the United States and the United States is closed at 3 \ 4.

[Polente the Wanderer]

The export of goods to the USA, as the largest consumer, is the basis of their foreign economy

[Flinkfan]

Is the nuclear industry still in the US? Atomic America, is it so ... atomic? !!

[Polente the Wanderer]

--80% of the imports of rare-earth elements in the United States are also provided by the Middle Kingdom, therefore, in the context of an intensification of trade confrontation between the countries, the Americans will probably want to diversify the sources of REE supplies. Russia's share in the global production of rare-earth elements is only 2%, however, according to Geological U.S. service, accounting for a quarter of their global stocks .--
And our industrial oligarchs will try to take the market with pleasure. State officials will be happy to help them. We don’t need them, because we buy high-tech products. Previously, aircraft were made by us. Now we sell titanium products. Excuse is simple, because we buy airplanes.

Quote: Tatiana

That is why the United States decided to intensify negotiations with Japan, which also has yttrium reserves.
But the problem is that the field is deep-sea, which means its development can be associated with huge costs.

Moreover, what is interesting!

It is possible that as a result of these Japanese-American negotiations - on the same yttrium - Japan, not just like that, emboldened, has recently stepped up its activity against the Russian Federation in the issue of Japan navigating into the 4 Russian Kuril Islands and almost to Sakhalin.

In exchange for such anti-Russian support of the Japanese government from the United States, Japan must clearly pay the United States with something! And I do not exclude that Japan may well pay off the United States with Japanese yttrium as well.

why not ?! for just talking in support of whining, forcing japs ​​to serve their needs

Coercion to yttrium.
