Nonoxide ceramic interactions with uranium or carbon. [Reaction of BN, TiN, HfC, CeS, or Ce2S3 with U, C, BeO, W, or Y2O3] (open access)

Nonoxide ceramic interactions with uranium or carbon. [Reaction of BN, TiN, HfC, CeS, or Ce2S3 with U, C, BeO, W, or Y2O3]

The interaction of possible nonoxide containment materials (including boron nitride, titanium nitride, hafnium carbide, and two cerium sulfides) with uranium or carbon has been examined by thermal analysis techniques. Additionally, nonoxide-ceramic interaction with beryllia, tungsten, or yttria was investigated. Hafnium carbide is the least reactive nonoxide ceramic tested.
