Assessment of Innovative Fuel Designs for High Performance
To increase the power density and maximum allowable fuel burnup in light water reactors, new fuel rod designs are investigated. Such fuel is desirable for improving the economic performance light water reactors loaded with transuranic-bearing fuel for transmutation, as well as those using UO2 fuel. A proposal for using silicon carbide duplex as fuel cladding is investigated. The cladding consis...
متن کاملThermal Transport in Nanostructured Materials
A detailed understanding of thermal transport at the nanoscale is becoming increasingly needed. This need is largely being driven by two distinct technological challenges. First, continuous miniaturization of electronic devices and the ever-increasing density of the components on integrated circuits (ICs) place ever-increasing thermal loads on systems. Indeed, it is now necessary to make therma...
متن کاملRecovery and Restructuring induced by Fission Energy Ions in High Burnup Nuclear Fuel
In light water commercial reactors, extensive change of grain structure was found at high burnup ceramic fuels. The mechanism is driven by bombardment of fission energy fragments and studies were conducted by combining accelerator based experiments and computer science. Specimen of CeO2 was used as simulation material of fuel ceramics. With swift heavy ion (Xe) irradiation on CeO2, with 210 MeV...
متن کاملThermophysical and Mechanical Analyses of UO2-36.4vol % BeO Fuel Pellets with Zircaloy, SiC, and FeCrAl Claddings
The thermophysical performance and solid mechanics behavior of UO2-36.4vol % BeO fuel pellets cladded with Zircaloy, SiC, and FeCrAl, and Zircaloy cladding materials coated with SiC and FeCrAl, are investigated based on simulation results obtained by the CAMPUS code. In addition, the effect of coating thickness (0.5, 1 and 1.5 mm) on fuel performance and mechanical interaction is discussed. The...
متن کاملSolidification and thermal performance analysis of the low carbon steel during the continuous casting process
The present paper evaluates the effect of the nozzle characteristics on the heat transfer and phase change of the low carbon steel during the continuous casting process. A three-dimensional energy equation and a solidification model are used to drive the governing equation of the phase change and temperature distribution. A linear relation is obtained to predict the temperature-dependent of the...
