TL;DR: In this paper, a compilation of non-irradiated and irradiated properties of SiC are provided and reviewed and analyzed in terms of application to TRISO fuels, specifically in the high-temperature irradiation regime.

TL;DR: In this article, a summary of the properties of SiC/SiC composites with chemically vapor-infiltrated (CVI) SiC matrices is presented.

TL;DR: The silicon carbide fiber-reinforced SiC/SiC composite system for fusion applications has seen a continual evolution from development a fundamental understanding of the material system and its behavior in a hostile irradiation environment to the current effort which is directed at a broad-based program of technology maturation program as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The recent progress in the understanding and of basic phenomenon related to the use of SiC and SiC composite in fusion applications will be presented in this article, including both fundamental radiation effects in SiC, and engineering issues such as joining and general materials properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of properties data for Zirconium carbide (ZrC) is provided in support of the current efforts toward fuel performance modeling and providing guidance for future research on ZrC for fuel applications.
