In recent years, U3Si2 has been proposed as an alternative nuclear fuel material to uranium
dioxide (UO2) because of its intrinsically high uranium density and thermal conductivity …

Abstract Uranium silicide (U 3 Si 2) is considered a potential accident tolerant fuel for next-
generation light water reactors, and the reliability of U 3 Si 2 in extreme environments can be …

In the past decades, uranium silicide (U 3 Si 2) as a promising accident tolerant fuel (ATF)
has drawn considerable attention in the field of nuclear physics. In comparison with …

Alloying has been considered as an effective strategy to make up for the poor oxidation
corrosion resistance of U 3 Si 2. However, the theoretical studies on alloyed U 3 Si 2 are …

This paper reports a systematic high-temperature creep behavior of dense U 3 Si 2 pellets
using a spark plasma sintering (SPS) apparatus at elevated temperatures and pressures …

As one of the accident-tolerance nuclear fuels with potential application prospects, U 3 Si 2
shows its merits of high melting point, high thermal conductivity and high uranium density …

In the past several years, the U 3 Si has been suggested as an alternative nuclear fuel for
light water reactors due to its high uranium density and outstanding thermal conductivity. In …

U3Si2C2 is expected to be a new nuclear fuel as a ternary compound of uranium, silicon
and carbon. However, the relevant research on U3Si2C2 under accident conditions is rarely …
