NEUP CINR-17-12939: Expansion of BISON Capabilities to Predict the Dynamic Response of Irradiated Fuel Rods

The main goal of the proposed research is to expand the capabilities of BISON and MOOSE to simulate the structural dynamic response of fuel rods and fuel assemblies during handling (wet and dry storage) and transportation. Expanding the capabilities of BISON and MOOSE to facilitate the evaluation of the dynamic response of fuel rods and assemblies is important to conduct a more reliable risk assessment of fuel assemblies, as well as storage and transportation casks.
