reactivity control for extended fuel cycles, tritium production, burning of long-lived …

The challenges and opportunities to alloyed and composite fuel architectures designed and
intended to mitigate oxidation of the fuel during a cladding breach of a water-cooled reactor …

Uranium mononitride (UN) is a promising nuclear fuel that combines the advantageous
properties of readily used UO 2 and uranium alloys, such as high melting temperature and …

The rigorous safety requirements in the nuclear industry have necessitated the development
of accident tolerant fuels, with FeCrAl-UN/U 3 Si 2 being one of the latest innovations in this …

Abstract Cr-incorporated UN (Cr-UN) composite fuels with different Cr amounts up to 10 wt%
are fabricated by spark plasma sintering, and their microstructure and phase heterogeneity …

This study investigates the potential of Al and Si dopants to enhance the performance of UO
2 pellets used in accident tolerant fuel for light water reactors. These dopants are anticipated …

Carburization of cladding materials has long been a concern for the nuclear industry and
has led to the restricted use of high-thermal conductivity fuels such as uranium carbides …

Abstract Uranium-zirconium carbides,(U, Zr) C, have been previously considered for nuclear
thermal propulsion (NTP) reactors due to their high melting point, low neutron cross section …

Uranium mononitride (UN) is a promising nuclear fuel due to its high fissile density, high
thermal conductivity, and suitability for reprocessing. In this study, two uranium nitride …

Alloying has been considered as an effective strategy to make up for the poor oxidation
corrosion resistance of U 3 Si 2. However, the theoretical studies on alloyed U 3 Si 2 are …
