In nuclear reactor system design and safety analysis, the Best Estimate plus Uncertainty (BEPU) methodology requires that computer model output uncertainties must be quantified …
Abstract Inverse Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is a process to quantify the uncertainties in random input parameters while achieving consistency between code simulations and …
One of the advanced nuclear fuel concepts for current commercial water-cooled reactors focuses on microstructural modification of UO 2 fuel via dopants. Dopants can effectively …
