Abstract The U-Pu-Zr metallic fuels contain multiple phases whose properties and
distributions evolve due to factors such as fission, nuclear transmutation, and elemental …

A deeper knowledge of thermally induced microstructural and phase evolution in nuclear
metallic fuel can be obtained using novel in-situ microscopic analyses. Such studies can …

Laser-based techniques have become an appealing option for determining the thermal
diffusivities (D) and conductivities (k) of nuclear materials that would otherwise prove too …

The development of U-Zr metallic nuclear fuel for fast spectrum reactors is impacted by a
lack of mechanistic understanding of the fuel behavior evolution under thermal irradiation …

Metallic U-Zr fuels have received renewed global interest due to their potential use in
Generation-IV sodium-cooled fast reactor systems. Previous work conducted during the …

Pu‐rich metallic fuel is promising for transuranic element burners. In this study, we
calculated the thermal properties of Pu‐rich metallic fuel. The thermal conductivity was …

EBSD (Electron Backscatter Diffraction) is an analytic technique used to evaluate the
microstructure of a specimen. It can be used to evaluate interesting crystallographic data …

Abstract Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors (SFR) are one of the advanced nuclear reactor
concepts to be commercially applied for electricity production. The benefits of SFR are well …
