Abstract More than 14 000 U-10Zr fuel rods (alloys of U with 10 wt% Zr) were irradiated in
the Experimental Breeder Reactor II and Fast Flux Test Facility, with some irradiated to …

The effect of phase transformation kinetics on the formation of α in the β-quenched Ti–5Al–
5Mo–5V–3Cr–1Zr metastable β titanium alloy is investigated as a function of heating rate by …

U-based binary alloys have been widely adopted in fast nuclear reactors, but their stability
under extreme conditions of high-pressure is almost unknown, mounting up to latent risk in …

The effect of heating rate on the phase transformation kinetics of a Ti–10V–2Fe–3Al
metastable β titanium alloy quenched from the β field is investigated by fast in situ high …

Ab initio calculations have been performed on all solid phases of U metal and U-Zr alloy, the
basis of a promising metallic fuel for fast nuclear reactors. Based on generalized gradient …

A new thermodynamic description of the U–Zr system is developed using the CALPHAD
(CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) method with the aid of ab initio calculations …

A semi-empirical Modified Embedded Atom Method (MEAM) potential is developed for
application to the high temperature body-centered-cubic uranium–zirconium alloy (γ-U–Zr) …

This work characterizes the crystallographic evolution of unirradiated UX wt.% Zr (X= 6, 10,
20, 30) while cooling from equilibration, single phase γ-U-Zr, at 900° C to ambient …

Finely dispersed two phase microstructures resulting from a spinodal decomposition are of
interest as they are associated with enhanced mechanical properties and excessive …

U-50wt% Zr is a candidate metallic nuclear fuel with potential application in light water
reactors due to its excellent thermal properties and high radiation tolerance. The Zr-rich UZr …
