abstract = "The performance of leading ceramic composites for high temperature applications, silicon carbide and graphic components, were compared. When considering SiC/SiC and CFC's for nuclear application, the primary distinctions are the greater maturity and substantially higher thermal conductivity of CFC's as compared to greater lifetime under irradiation of the SiC/SiC. the elevated temperature thermal conductivity of the SiC/SiC composites was relatively poor as compared with high-quality CFC. Under irradiation the same were found to undergo substantial degradation.",
