Uranium selenide (USe) is an intermetallic ceramic compound combining uranium with selenium, belonging to the family of actinide chalcogenides. It is primarily of research and developmental interest rather than established commercial use, investigated for its potential in nuclear fuel applications, radiation-resistant materials, and high-temperature ceramic systems where uranium's nuclear properties and selenium's chemical characteristics offer unique advantages. Engineers and researchers consider USe compounds when exploring advanced nuclear materials, specialized refractory applications, or studying the thermomechanical behavior of actinide-based ceramics under extreme conditions.
