The Thermal Conductivity of Uranium Monocarbide

Description: Uranium carbide shows promise as a fuel material for reactors operating at relatively high temperatures based on its high melting point, high uranium density and high thermal conductivity. Before refined reactor designs can be made, however, good quantitative data on the thermal conductivity at temperatures in excess of 1000C is required. This technical report presents data gathered as part of a continuing study aimed at determining the thermal conductivity of refractory uranium fuels as a func… more

The Thermal Decomposition of Uranium Mononitride

Description: The use of uranium mononitride as a nuclear fuel is being considered for a number of high temperature applications. In comparison with the most often applied high temperature fuels, UO2 and UC, one finds that UN has a combination of the high melting point of UO2 and the thermal conductivity and high uranium density of UC. However, interest in UN is often dampened by qualitative indications of its low thermal stability and by lack of experimental thermodynamic data. Is is the purpose of this st… more
