Oxide growth and corrosion resistance of Si-containing SiC fuel matrices fabricated by reaction sintering for high-power nuclear reactors

To assess the potential risk of fuel matrix degradation, this study examines the oxidation behavior of the reaction-sintered SiC containing residual Si (Si-RS-SiC) during air-ingress accidents. Si-RS-SiC samples were subjected to oxidation tests in air and under 1 ppm O2 flow using thermogravimetric...
