Results are presented on the mechanical and thermophysical property characterization of U-10Mo as part of the MP-1 qualification campaign. The thermal diffusivity, specific heat and thermal conductivity of as fabricated U-10Mo fuel foils and plates were measured using the thermal conductivity microscope (TCM), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and laser flash analyzer (LFA) all of which located in a shielded glove box – thermal property cell (TPC). A novel inverse method based on finite element analysis was developed to evaluate the thermal diffusivity of composite/layered materials via the LFA technique such as the 5-lyered U-10Mo monolithic fuel mini-plates.
