Experimental Confirmation of First-Principles Thermal Conductivity in Zirconium-Doped ThO
Ella Kartika Pek, Zilong Hua, Amey Khanolkar +7
The degradation of thermal conductivity in advanced nuclear fuels due to the accumulation of fission products and irradiation-induced defects is inevitable, and must be considered…
Xenon-metal pair formation in UO2 investigated using DFT+U
Linu Malakkal, Shuxiang Zhou, Himani Mishra +4
A recent experimental study on a spent uranium dioxide (UO2) fuel sample from Belgium Reactor 3 (BR3) identified a unique pair structure formed by the noble metal phase (NMP) and f…
Phonon modal analysis of thermal transport in ThO2 with point defects using equilibrium molecular dynamics
Beihan Chen, Linu Malakkal, Marat Khafizov +2
Defects can significantly degrade the thermal conductivity of ThO2, an advanced nuclear fuel material as well as a surrogate for other fluorite-structured materials. We investigate…
