A Rapid Sintering Method for Cerium Nitride Pellet: A Uranium Mononitride Surrogate
Uranium mononitride (UN) is a candidate fuel material for light water reactors with higher uranium (U) loading and thermal conductivity than uranium dioxide (UO<sub>2</sub>). However, the sintering of UN pellets is challenging as the UN powder particles oxidize rapidly at high temperatur...
