Uranium- 10 wt. % zirconium (U-10Zr) alloys were generated using powder metallurgy methods to create porous specimens with densities ranging from 70 to 98 % Theoretical Density (%T.D.). This was completed as part of a larger project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy designed to use computational and experimental methods to evaluate the sintering behavior in U-10Zr metallic fuel for advanced nuclear fuel simulations in the MOOSE/MARMOT simulation environment. Uranium microspheres (180 to 45 micron in diameter) produced in the Rotating Electrode System (RES) were mixed with purchased zirconium microspheres (<44 micron diameter). This powder was thoroughly mixed and pressed in a six millimeter die at 8,000 pounds force to form the gree...
