Gaseous fission product generation, transport, and release can have a large impact on
nuclear fuel performance, degrading fuel and fuel–cladding gap properties. Over the past …

To efficiently capture the energy of the nuclear bond, advanced nuclear reactor concepts
seek solid fuels that must withstand unprecedented temperature and radiation extremes. In …

A many-body potential model for the description of actinide oxide systems, which is robust at
high temperatures, is reported for the first time. The embedded atom method is used to …

Existing mouse models of lethal Ebola virus infection do not reproduce hallmark symptoms
of Ebola hemorrhagic fever, neither delayed blood coagulation and disseminated …

An improved knowledge of nuclear fuel can be gained from a better description of atomic-
scale processes such as point defects behaviour under irradiation. In this perspective the …

We present the development of machine-learning interatomic potentials for uranium dioxide
UO 2. Density functional theory calculations with a Hubbard U correction were leveraged to …

An improved knowledge of nuclear fuel can be gained from a better description of atomic-
scale processes such as point defects behaviour under irradiation. In these perspectives …

Our series of articles is devoted to high-precision molecular dynamics simulation of mixed
actinide-oxide (MOX) fuel in the approximation of rigid ions and pair interactions (RIPI) using …

Radiation-induced defects cause severe degradation of materials properties during
irradiation that can ultimately cause the material to fail. Consequences of these defects …

Uranium dioxide (UO2) is the major nuclear fuel component of fission power reactors. A key
concern during severe accidents is the melting and leakage of radioactive UO2 as it …
