(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The purpose of this work is to investigate the implementation of nitride fuels containing little or no uranium in a fast-spectrum nuclear reactor to reduce the amount of plutonium and minor actinides in spent nuclear fuel ...
-
(2013-06-17)Atomic diffusion phenomena were examined in a metal-alloy nuclear fuel system composed of δ-phase U-50wt%Zr fuel in contact with either Zr-10wt%Gd or Zr-10wt%Er. Each alloy was fabricated from elemental feed material via ...
-
(2017-05-05)An engineering investigation of the fabrication process for low smear density uranium alloy nuclear fuel forms was completed and the resulting alloys were characterized. The metal fuel alloys investigated in this project ...
