Abstract

SPS technique was applied for fabrication of UN pellets. The dense sample was obtained with relatively low sintering temperature without any milling process and sintering additive, indicating that the SPS technique is suitable for fabrication of nitride fuel. The thermal conductivity and Young's modulus in axial direction were higher than those of reported values. EBSP analysis and electronic calculation supposed that weak grain orientation in [100] direction of the sample lead to these higher values.
