Reactor structural integrity and nuclear safety are seriously affected by the fission gas
behaviors and relevant physical phenomena in nuclear fuels. In this review, the fission gas …

U 3 Si 2–FeCrAl system has been a promising Accident Tolerant Fuels (ATFs) candidate for
its higher thermal conductivity, higher uranium density and lower oxidation rate. As a part of …

Cladding thermal conductivity is an important physical property in assessing the
performance of silicon carbide (SiC)-cladded fuels for nuclear reactors. However, there is a …

This study presents the design and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of a mini
demonstrator for a dual fluid reactor (DFR). The DFR is a novel concept currently under …

In this work, we present the first implementation of U3Si2 fuel properties in the
TRANSURANUS code. Following the short overview of the implemented fuel properties, we …

The safe use of nuclear energy is crucial, especially after the Fukushima nuclear disaster. A
novel uranium dioxide (UO 2)-graphene nanosheet (GN) ceramic matrix composite fuel has …

This paper compiles and digitizes the publicly reported data for integral loss of coolant
accident (LOCA) testing so it can be used by both multiphysics modeling and simulation …

Safety, efficiency and economic benefits cannot be ignored in the development of nuclear
energy. As a type of widely used fuel in nuclear reactors, solid fuel has limited potential, long …

We present an elaborate study of the surface and size effects on the transient and steady-
state behaviors of point defects in irradiated solids. In this investigation, both pure Ni and …

Using the newly restarted Transient Reactor Test (TREAT) facility at Idaho National
Laboratories, fresh (unirradiated) U 3 Si 2 fuel pellets were tested under reactivity-initiated …
