The thermal conductivity of a ceramic-metal composite consisting of 60 vol % uranium nitride incorporated into a molybdenum-tungsten matrix has been measured up to a temperature of 1200°C. Compositing nuclear fuel with refractory materials is considered a viable way to improve the thermal and mechanical properties of fuels, and more recently, has been investigated as a way to improve hydrogen compatibility in a nuclear thermal propulsion rocket reactor. Here, we demonstrate that high-density composites can be produced from direct current sintering and that the resulting thermal conductivity is improved compared to the pure.
