Irradiation behaviour of nuclear fuels

Characterization of poly- and single-crystal uranium–molybdenum alloy thin films

“…Irradiation growth refers to the change in uranium shape at constant volume without any external stress application. A single crystal of -U during irradiation grows in the [010] direction, shrinks in the [100] direction and remains unchanged in the [001] direction [9]. In a polycrystalline sample the extent of dimensional changes depends on the degree of preferred orientation in the specimen.…”

Water reactor fuel performance codeprofess and its application for predicting the behaviour of the fuel elements of D-Com blind problem

“…The flow chart of calculation followed in PROFESS is given in figures 1 and 2. The models incorporated in this code are listed in method of thermal and mechanical analysis of fuel element is described elsewhere (Roy and Sah 1985). Models of important phenomena treated in PROF.S are briefly described below.…”
