This paper provides a thorough review on high-pressure spark plasma sintering (HP-SPS)
experiments conducted to date, with a focus on different tooling materials and their impact …

Results of uranium carbide sintering using a spark plasma sintering facility are presented
here. The initial uranium carbide powder is produced from the thermal decomposition of a …

Very high temperature gas-cooled reactors (VHTR) require uranium carbide (UC) nuclear
fuel microspheres with high thermal conductivity and uranium density. However, the …

The UC 1-x N x solid solution modified layers that improve corrosion resistance and surface
hardness of uranium were prepared by pulsed laser irradiating the surface uranium in the …

A preliminary study was carried out on preparation of UC-UO 2 (UCO) composite ceramic
microspheres using fructose as the carbon source by combining internal gelation and …

This chapter provides a detailed description of the actinides and their most important
compounds. These fourteen elements are all radioactive, and only a few of them, such as …
