520 3 |a Herein, silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic matrix composites are being investigated as a new generation of fuel cladding materials due to its higher accident tolerance compared to Zircaloy. Characterization of the thermal conductivity of SiC constituents and their interfaces and interphases in SiC/SiC composites is needed as inputs to models of cladding performance. We used time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) to map the thermal conductivity with a spatial resolution of 2 æm. The SiC/SiC composite is comprised of Hi-Nicalon Type S fibers in a matrix made by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI matrix). The interphase material is a pyrolytic carbon/SiC multilayer. We report thermal conductivity maps of the SiC fiber and SiC matrix at temperatures of 25 ʻC, 90 ʻC, 164 ʻC, and 250 ʻC. The fiber has a uniform and isotropic thermal conductivity of 22 W m<sup>-1</sup> K<sup>-1</sup> at 25 ʻC; the thermal conductivity of fiber is approximately independent of temperature. The matrix thermal conductivity is not uniform and varies from 50 to 120 W m<sup>-1</sup> K<sup>-1</sup> at 25 ʻC; the thermal conductivity of the matrix scales approximately with the inverse of the square root of temperature, i.e., ? 1/T<sup>1/2</sup>. The thermal conductivity of the interphase at room temperature is 6 W m<sup>-1</sup> K<sup>-1</sup>. The calculated spatially averaged thermal conductivity of this SiC/SiC composite at 1000ʻC is 29 W m<sup>-1</sup> K<sup>-1</sup>
