Using the force-matching method we develop an interatomic potential that allows us to study
the structure and properties of α-U, γ-U and liquid uranium. The potential is fitted to the …

Over the past decade considerable efforts have been put by many fuel designers to develop
low enriched uranium (LEU< 20% U235) base U–Mo alloy as a potential fuel for core …

The ground-state properties of U–Mo solid solutions are studied by density functional theory
and compared to the similar U–Zr system. We discuss how the heat of formation in both …

In the first part of this series, it was determined that the as-cast U-10Mo had a dendritic
microstructure with chemical inhomogeneity and underwent eutectoid transformation during …

Ultrasonication is proposed to accelerate the growth of coating formed on a zircaloy-4 by
plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) at low electric power. PEO was conducted at a DC …

In order to get a reliable constitutive equation for the accurate simulation, high temperature
flow behavior of molybdenum sheet was investigated by performing uniaxial hot tensile tests …

Over the years U3Si2 compound dispersed in aluminium matrix has been used successfully
as the potential low enriched uranium (LEU< 20% U235) base dispersion fuel for use in new …

U-Mo dispersion and monolithic fuels are being developed to fulfill the requirements for
research reactors, under the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors program …

Binary and/or ternary metallic alloys of uranium (U) and plutonium (Pu) with transition metals
are considered to be promising fuels for fast breeder reactors due to their high fissile atom …

In order to predict the irradiation mechanical behaviors of plate-type dispersion nuclear fuel
elements, the total burnup is divided into two stages: the initial stage and the increasing …
