Corrosion behavior is an important consideration in the fuel qualification process. No prior
study comprehensively evaluated the corrosion behavior of uranium-10 wt percent (wt%) …

Low-enriched uranium alloyed with 10 wt.% molybdenum (U-10Mo) has been identified as a
promising alternative to high-enriched uranium. Manufacturing U-10Mo alloy involves …

In irradiation of swift heavy ions, the defects formation frequently takes place in crystals. High
energy transfer into the electronic subsystem and relaxations processes lead to the …

Uranium (U) enrichment measurements for the US High Performance Research Reactor
(USHPRR) conversion program are needed to certify the fuel is< 20% 235 U (tolerance …

The microstructures and micro-mechanical properties of the melt-spun ribbons of U-5.4 wt%
Nb alloy were characterized using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray …

Homogenization heat treatment is performed to attain uniformity in microstructure which is
helpful to achieve the desired workability and microstructure in final products and …

The influence of initial carbide particle distribution features on the evolution of particle and
stringer distribution within U10Mo alloy during hot rolling was investigated in this study. This …

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we studied the structural properties of orthorhombic,
monoclinic, and body-centered tetragonal (bct) phases of U–Mo alloys. A sequence of shear …

ABSTRACT The Fuel Fabrication (FF) Pillar, a project within the US High Performance
Research Reactor Conversion program of the National Nuclear Security Administration's …

Uranium alloyed with 10 wt% molybdenum (U 10Mo) is a monolithic nuclear fuel relevant to
the National Nuclear Security Administration's nonproliferation efforts. Research has been …
