New Publication: Synthesis of Candidate Advanced Technology Fuel – Uranium Diboride via Carbo/Borothermic Reduction of Uranium Dioxide
Uranium diboride (UB2) has a greater uranium density and a higher thermal conductivity than UO2, both traits that result in increased performance for nuclear fuels. For the first time, UB2 has been prepared via a method suitable for industrial production. A synthesis procedure suitable for industrial-scale production is a key requirement for any nuclear fuel […]
