Summary

The development of targets is a key aspect in the production of radioisotopes for nuclear physics and medicine. In ISOL (Isotope Separation On-Line) facilities, porous uranium carbide is the most used target material. In this work, we present the use of additive manufacturing to produce innovative uranium carbide/carbon nanocomposites.
