Hot Extrusion of Alpha Phase Uranium-Zirconium Alloys for TRU Burning Fast Reactors

The development of fast reactor systems capable of burning recycled transuranic (TRU) isotopes has been underway for decades at various levels of activity. These systems could significantly alleviate nuclear waste storage liabilities by consuming the long-lived isotopes of plutonium (Pu), neptunium...
