USiO₃ is an experimental uranium silicate ceramic compound that belongs to the family of actinide silicates. This material is primarily investigated in nuclear fuel research and materials science contexts rather than established commercial production. It represents a potential alternative uranium-bearing ceramic phase for nuclear applications, though development remains largely at the research stage compared to conventional uranium dioxide (UO₂) and other established nuclear fuel forms.
