“…The effective utilization of nuclear power will require continued improvements in nuclear technology, particularly related to safety and efficiency. Nowadays, except for the oxide based fuels, the nitride fuels also participate in the competition to become the alternative materials for their superior thermophysical properties, such as high melting point, high thermal conductivity, and high density, as well as the good compatibility with the coolant (liquid sodium) [2][3][4][5]. Since the high density of nitride fuels can bring out more excess neutrons, therefore, they have a higher potential to transmute the long lived fission products.…”
