NEUP CINR-17-13054: Simulated Used Nuclear Fuel Dissolution as a Function of Fuel Chemistry and Near Field Conditions

This proposal aims to develop fundamental understanding of effects of simulated used nuclear fuel (UNF) chemistry and microstructure on its dissolution in geologic repository conditions, through an integrated program delivered by a partnership of US and UK researchers. This understanding will underpin maturation of models for UNF evolution under repository conditions, enabling reliable prediction of degradation and long-term performance to provide confidence in UNF for up to one million years.
