NEUP CINR-20-19627: Chemical Interaction and Compatibility of Uranium Nitride with Liquid Pb and Alumina-forming Austenitic Alloys

We propose to address the critical issues of chemical interaction and compatibility among UN fuels, AFAs and liquid Pb coolant/sublayer. The first objective is to testify the hypothesis of a good compatibility of UN with liquid metal Pb and AFAs. The second objective is to understand any possible interaction and compatibility issues of the fuels with optimized AFAs with the presence of liquid metals at elevated temperatures.
