~ Uranium Nitride is now being implementing to replace Uranium Oxide as a fuel source in GEN IV Reactors. Triple-Bonded Nitrides are ideal as fuel sources for reactors, automobiles and spacecraft, because they are more dense, more thermally conductive and have a higher tolerance for heat. Issues that have prevented these ceramics from being utilized are the manufacturing complexities of sintering and milling, as well as issues associated with Nitrides oxidizing. siberianinsider/russia-produces-first-nitride-fuel-rod-assembly.html #Ceramics #NuclearChemistry
