Effects of ZrN coating and heat treatment on U-Mo dispersion fuel systems under irradiation
The stability of U-Mo fuel particles embedded in an Al matrix can be enhanced through ZrN coatings and/or heat treatment. The present study investigates the irradiation behavior of fuel plates containing U-Mo fuel particles fabricated under various heat-treatment conditions and ZrN coating thicknesses. Different fission densities were also applied to each fuel plate to evaluate […]
