Dr. Paul Van Uffelen graduated from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium) and the Ecole
Nationale Supérieure Polytechnique de Grenoble (France) with a master degree in …

Lead-cooled fast reactors (LFRs) are considered one of the most promising technologies to
meet the requirements introduced for advanced nuclear systems. LFRs have higher neutron …

Accident-tolerant fuels (ATFs) are currently of high interest to researchers in the nuclear
industry and in governmental and international organizations. One widely studied accident …

Abstract Iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl) alloys are candidates to be used as nuclear fuel
cladding for increased accident tolerance. An analysis of the response of FeCrAl under …

Abstract Griffin is a Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) based
reactor physics application for multiphysics simulations of advanced reactor designs jointly …

BISON is a modern finite element-based nuclear fuel performance code that has been under
development at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) since 2009. The code is applicable to both …

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 …

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 …

For economic reasons, the US nuclear industry is renewing efforts to build a technical basis
to extend peak rod average burnup limits above the current regulatory burnup limit of 62 …
