Uranium carbide Uses

Uranium carbide (CAS NO.12070-09-6) was used in late designs of nuclear thermal rockets, and like uranium dioxide and some other uranium compounds, uranium carbide can be used as a nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors. As nuclear fuel, uranium carbide can be used either on its own, or mixed with plutonium carbide . Its pellets are used as fuel kernels for the US version of pebble bed reactors.
 

Uranium carbide Safety Profile

A radioactive material. The powdered carbide ignites spontaneously in air. See also URANIUM.
