Uranium carbide a carbide of uranium is a hard refractory ceramic material. It comes in several stoichiometries (UCx) such as uranium methanide (UC CAS number 12070-09-6) uranium sesquicarbide (U2C3 CAS number 12076-62-9)and uranium acetylide (UC2 CAS number 12071-33-9).Like uranium dioxide and some other uranium compounds uranium carbide can be used as a nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors usually in the form of pellets or tablets.
