Mesoscale model for fission-induced recrystallization in U-7Mo alloy
A mesoscale model is developed by integrating the rate theory and phase-field models and is used to study the fission-induced recrystallization in U-7Mo alloy. The rate theory model is used to predict the dislocation density and the critical size and density of the recrystallized nuclei due to irradiation. The predicted fission rate and temperature dependences of the dislocation density are in ...
متن کاملRecent Development in Tem Characterization of Irradiated Rertr Fuels
The recent development on TEM work of irradiated RERTR fuels includes characterization of the irradiated U-10Mo/Alloy-6061 monolithic fuel plate, the RERTR7 U-7Mo/Al-2Si and U-7Mo/Al-5Si dispersion fuel plates. It is the first time that a TEM sample of an irradiated nuclear fuel was prepared using the focused-ion-beam (FIB) liftout technical at the Idaho National Laboratory. Multiple FIB TEM sa...
متن کاملModelling of Fission Gas Behaviour in High Burnup Nuclear Fuel
The safe and economic operation of nuclear power plants (NPPs) requires that the behaviour and performance of the fuel can be calculated reliably over its expected lifetime. This requires highly developed codes that treat the nuclear fuel in a general manner and which take into account the large number of in uences on fuel behaviour, e.g. thermal, mechanical, chemical, etc. Although many mature...
متن کاملDetermination of the origin of unknown irradiated nuclear fuel.
An isotopic fingerprinting method is presented to determine the origin of unknown nuclear material with forensic importance. Spent nuclear fuel of known origin has been considered as the 'unknown' nuclear material in order to demonstrate the method and verify its prediction capabilities. The method compares, using factor analysis, the measured U, Pu isotopic compositions of the 'unknown' materi...
متن کاملNuclear Development ACTINIDE AND FISSION PRODUCT PARTITIONING AND TRANSMUTATION
Partitioning and transmutation (P&T) aims at making nuclear energy more sustainable from the viewpoint of the back-end of the fuel cycle by minimising the high-level waste with respect to its mass, radiotoxicity and (possibly) repository risk. P&T mainly deals with the management – i.e. transmutation and/or special conditioning and confinement – of minor actinides and fission products, but invo...
