Abstract

Silicon carbide has been studied for, and utilized by, nuclear systems for decades. Historically, it has been used as the micro pressure vessel in high-temperature gas-cooled reactor fuels, although it has been studied, and is currently being developed, in its composite form for structural application in gas-cooled and light water fission reactors. This article discusses in some detail the effects of neutron irradiation on the thermophysical properties of the currently known radiation-stable forms of silicon carbide.
