Fragmentation of fuel particles in rolling U3Si2-Al dispersion fuel plates
January 1, 2024Research article investigating how U3Si2 particle fragmentation during the rolling process increases fines content in dispersion fuel plates; findings indicate fines content can increase substantially (from ~20 wt% to ~59 wt%) during fabrication, with implications for powder specification and fuel manufacturing.
