Publication: Modelling the Thermal Conductivity of UB2 and ZrB2

There is a global effort within the nuclear industry to develop an alternate fission fuel to UO2 that could be safer, more efficient and cheaper to produce.  One such alternative is uranium diboride (UB2) owing to its increased uranium density and thermal conductivity over UO2. Before an alternative fuel can be considered as a viable
