Enhanced thermal conductivity of uranium dioxide–silicon carbide composite fuel pellets prepared by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS)

Uranium dioxide (UO2)–10vol% silicon carbide (SiC) composite fuel pellets were produced by oxidative sintering and Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) at a range of temperatures from 1400 to 1600°C. Both SiC whiskers and SiC powder particles were utilized. Oxidative sintering was employed over 4h and the S...
