BISON is a nuclear fuel performance application built using the Multiphysics Object-Oriented
Simulation Environment (MOOSE) finite element library. One of its major goals is to have a …

Bridging lower length-scale calculations with the engineering-scale simulations of fuel
performance codes requires the development of dedicated intermediate-scale codes. In this …

SCIANTIX is a 0D, open-source code designed to model inert gas behaviour within nuclear
fuel at the scale of the grain. The code predominantly employs mechanistic approaches …

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 is a potential accident-tolerant fuel that shows promise due to its high thermal
conductivity and higher uranium density relative to UO 2. However, its swelling and fission …

We propose a model describing the high burnup structure inter-granular porosity evolution
under irradiation. The evolution of the porosity collecting the gas diffusing from the grains is …

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

The description of intra-granular fission gas behavior during irradiation is a fundamental part
of models used for the calculation of fission gas release and gaseous swelling in nuclear …

Benefited from its higher mechanical strength and much-improved oxidation resistance at
very high temperatures (> 1200° C), SiC cladding is one of the promising accident tolerant …

In recent years, U3Si2 has been proposed as an alternative nuclear fuel material to uranium
dioxide (UO2) because of its intrinsically high uranium density and thermal conductivity …
