Radiation Damage Effects and Thermophysical Properties of Nitride Fuels
Nitrides and carbides are the object of renewed interest as candidate fuels or matrices
for minor actinide incineration in advanced nuclear reactors (see e.g. the Gen.IV program [1]).
In ITU such materials are investigated from both the experimental and the modelling point of view [2]. The experiments so far have covered fuels like UN and (Ux,Pu1-x)N and matrices like ZrN and (Zr0.8,Pu0.2)N.
