Irradiation of UC1+x kernels using the MiniFuel vehicle: Microstructure, phase analysis, and initial post-irradiation examination

Uranium carbide is a candidate fuel form for a wide range of advanced reactors, including larger Generation IV reactors as well as small modular reactors and microreactors. However, its commercial deployment timeline faces challenges via traditional qualification approaches. To address this issue, an accelerated fission rate irradiation test was performed to collect basic…
