Abstract
The sodium compatibility and the nitric acid dissolution of (Zr0.80U0.20)N, prepared by carbothermic reduction of the oxide, were determined. No interaction with liquid sodium (T=823 K) was observed. The material readily dissolved in nitric acid (T=378–383 K). From these results it is concluded that ZrN is an attractive inert matrix in fast reactor fuels for the incineration of plutonium and minor actinides.
