U3Mo is an intermetallic compound in the uranium-molybdenum system, consisting of uranium and molybdenum in a 3:1 atomic ratio. This material is primarily of research and specialized nuclear fuel interest, investigated as a potential high-density, low-enrichment uranium fuel form for research reactors and medical isotope production, where it offers improved neutron economy and thermal conductivity compared to conventional uranium fuels. U3Mo is notable for combining high uranium density with enhanced performance characteristics, though its development and deployment remain limited to specialized nuclear applications with stringent regulatory oversight.
