Material Properties of Unirradiated UraniumMolybdenum (UMo) Fuel for Research Reactors

This publication presents the material properties of all unirradiated UraniumMolybdenum (U-Mo) fuel constituents that are essential for fuel designers and reactor operators to evaluate the fuels performance and safety for research reactors. Many significant advances in the understanding and development of low enriched uranium UMo fuels have been made since 2004, stimulated by the need to understand irradiation behavior and early fuel failures during testing. The publication presents a comprehensive overview of mechanical and physical property data from U-Mo fuel research.
