metal· JVASP-91566· UMo
Uranium-molybdenum (UMo) is a metallic alloy combining uranium and molybdenum, primarily developed for nuclear fuel applications where high density and thermal performance are critical. Used predominantly in research reactors and defense applications, UMo fuel offers improved neutron economy and reduced proliferation concerns compared to traditional highly enriched uranium fuels, making it the subject of significant international development for converting civilian nuclear reactors to lower-enrichment fuel cycles.

Export Control
RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
