Data-driven methods for diffusivity prediction in nuclear fuels

Galen T. Craven, Renai Chen, Michael W. D. Cooper +6

The growth rate of structural defects in nuclear fuels under irradiation is intrinsically related to the diffusion rates of the defects in the fuel lattice. The generation and grow…
