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 …

Abstract The Joint Automated Repository for Various Integrated Simulations (JARVIS) is an
integrated infrastructure to accelerate materials discovery and design using density …

The anticipated benefits of large grains in Cr 2 O 3-doped UO 2 pellets include improved
mechanical and fission gas retention properties. To support the assessment of fission gas …

The only present viable way to ensure a reliable, dispatchable and uninterrupted electricity
supply for base load that could conform with the requirement for the reduction of greenhouse …

Fission gas bubbles in UO 2 nuclear fuel have been observed to exhibit pressures in excess
of the equilibrium bubble pressure; however, the cause of bubble over-pressurization has …

Advances in nuclear power reactors include the use of mixed oxide fuel, containing uranium
and plutonium oxides. The high-temperature behaviour and structure of PuO2–x above …

Diffusion of Xe atoms in UO 2 fuel is important for nuclear fuel performance, and is enabled
by interaction with U and O vacancies. Previous work using atomistic calculations based on …

To understand the thermodynamic behavior of xenon (Xe) bubbles in uranium dioxide (UO
2), the pressure of Xe nanobubbles as a function of temperature was systematically …

Extensive attention has been paid to accident tolerant fuels (ATFs), such as uranium
mononitride (UN) and uranium sesquisilicide (U3Si2), which are regarded as potential …

Atomistic simulations are performed to study the response of Xe gas bubbles in UO 2 to
ionizing fission products through the thermal spike approximation. A portion of the total …
