“…The mini-plate irradiations of uranium silicide compounds consisted of two phases and are reported in detail by Senn [13], and Snelgrove et al [14]. The initial program was designed to evaluate the primary candidates and included four U 3 Si 2 , 18 U 3 Si and 36 U 3 SiAl mini-plates.…”

“…In U 3 Si 2 , practical fuel plate fabrication considerations [14] limit the volume fraction of fuel that can be added to the dispersant, aluminium. The current limits for U 3 Si 2 lie between 40% and 45% volume fraction, to yield a uranium density of 4.8 g/cm 3 , as approved by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission [17].…”

“…Nessa situação diz-se que o U3Si2 está disperso em matriz de Al. Assim, chega-se à nomenclatura do combustível selecionado para este trabalho: trata-se de siliceto de urânio de baixo enriquecimento e disperso em matriz de alumínio, geralmente denominado LEU U3Si2-Al [23,27,36,37].…”

“…A primeira delas refere-se ao tipo de combustível, pois há vários tipos de combustível nuclear para reatores de pesquisa [23]. Neste trabalho foi selecionado o combustível a base de siliceto de urânio (U3Si2), devido ao seu largo emprego em reatores de pesquisa, à sua boa capacidade de carga de urânio e excelente desempenho [21].…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
