Uranium zirconium hydride

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uranium zirconium hydride (UZrH), is famously a fuel in TRIGA educational reactors. UZrH fuel is used in most educational and research reactors as a result of its material properties making it difficult for it to melt and nearly impossible for it to sustain a high temperature reaction.[1]


Franco-Belge de Fabrication du Combustible, in Romans-sur-Isère, France, is the only manufacturer of this fuel.[2]
