Thermal conductivity of gadolinia-chromia doped UO2 fuel
UO2-Gd2O3 burnable absorber fuel has been utilized in the nuclear industry with the purpose to increase fuel burn up. However, gadolinium decreases the thermal conductivity and grain size of the UO2, both effects contribute to premature fuel degradation. The addition of oxides in UO2 is one of the a...
