U3Si2 is one of the candidate material for accident tolerant fuel (ATF). To develop U3Si2 based ATF, it is necessary to accurately understand the basic properties of U3Si2 such as thermal and mechanical properties. In this study, we fabricated dense U3Si2 polycrystalline sample and measured thermal and mechanical properties.
