Fabrication and Properties of Hot-Pressed Uranium Mononitride

Thermophysical properties of several nitrides prepared by spark plasma sintering

“…The porosity dependence of Young's modulus is shown in Fig. 7 together with the reported data [12,[23][24][25][26][27][28]. The Young's modulus for the prepared samples is roughly in accordance with the reported value.…”

Molecular dynamics studies of actinide nitrides

“…In cases of ThN, NpN, and PuN, there is little experimental data for the linear thermal expansion coefficient and compressibility. The calculated results which agree with the literature data [14][15][16][18][19][20] are shown in Figs. 2 and 3.…”

“…Calculated results of linear thermal expansion coefficients for ThN, UN, NpN, and PuN as a function of temperature, together with literature data[14][15][16]18,19]. Calculated results of compressibilities for ThN, UN, NpN, and PuN as a function of temperature, together with literature data…”

Thermal conductivity of perspective fuel based on uranium nitride

“…However, there is a wide variation in the data on uranium nitride thermal conductivity resulting from different measurement techniques and different fuel fabrication methods (typically resulting in different porosities and content of impurities) as demonstrated (Arai and Suzuki, 1992;Ross and El-Genk, 1988;Speidel and Keller, 1964;Enderbrock and Foster, 1964;Moore and Fulkerson, 1970;Hayes et al, 1965Hayes et al, , 1990Bauer, 1972;Taubin, 1986).…”

“…Based on the result of ten experimental work (Speidel and Keller, 1964;Enderbrock and Foster, 1964;Moore and Fulkerson, 1970;Hayes et al, 1965Hayes et al, , 1990Takahashi et al, 1971, Kikuchi andTakahashi, 1972;Ross and El-Genk (1988)) proposed the following expression for the thermal conductivity of uranium mononitride in the temperature range 298-1923 K with porosity 0-20% T:…”
