Texture Evolution in U-10Mo Nuclear Fuel Foils during Plasma Spray Coating with Zr

Texture Evolution in U-10Mo Nuclear Fuel Foils during Plasma Spray Coating with Zr

A uranium-molybdenum alloy clad in 6061 aluminum has the potential to lead to a wide application of low-enriched uranium fuels, replacing highly enriched uranium for research reactors. A Zr coating acts as a diffusion barrier between the fuel and the aluminum cladding. In this study, U-10Mo (mass %)...
