Designing Nuclear Fuels with a Multi-Principal Element Alloying Approach
Previous research has shown that multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) using chromium, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, titanium, vanadium, and zirconium can form stable body centered cubic (BCC) structures across a large temperature region (25-1000 °C). This is the same structure and space group as ? phase uranium (U) which has shown desirable behavior in previous alloy fuel […]
