Book excerpt: Studies were conducted to establish the mechanical properties of uranium 10 wt.% molybdenum (U-10Mo) in both the un-irradiated condition and after neutron irradiation. In the un-irradiated condition, mechanical properties were obtained for various temperatures and after the alloy had been wrought processed by rolling into four different rolling conditions. The irradiated mechanical properties were obtained at various fission densities and then the degradation of the mechanical properties from the un-irradiated to irradiated condition evaluated and a correlation with porosity developed. The mechanical properties obtained of the un-irradiated material differed from that previously published in the literature, which was expected due to the differences in thermomechanical processing conditions between the materials evaluated. The mechanical properties degraded as fission density increased as expected, and correlate to the increase of porosity that develops with increasing fission density.
