For example, the urania fuel melts not only because of enhanced neutron flux but also because its thermal conductivity degrades when it oxidizes. Here we present the application of first principles calculations to evaluate the structural, mechanical and thermal properties of traditional urania … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 20 Dec 2013 · 7,640 accessesView PDFCite
