URANIUM-BASED ALLOY (OPTIONS) Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC C22C43/00 G21C3/60 

FIELD: nuclear technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to nuclear technology and can be used as nuclear fuel in manufacture of fuel elements for thermal reactors of WWER type. The uranium-based alloy contains, by wt %: silicon 2.0-7.0, aluminum 0.1-2.0, at least one element selected from the group: carbon 0.15-2.0, oxygen 0.15-2.0, nitrogen 0.15-1.0, and uranium - the rest. The uranium-based alloy may additionally contain at least one of the elements selected from group: molybdenum 0.15-5.0, niobium 0.15-2.0, zirconium 0.15-2.0, titanium 0.15-2.0, tin 0.1-2.0, chromium 0.1-2.0.

EFFECT: production of a high-density uranium-based alloy with high uranium capacity while maintaining thermodynamic stability, high liquidus temperature and high radiation resistance is ensured.
