NEUP CINR-21-24225: Characterizing Fuel Response and Quantifying Coolable Geometry of High-Burnup Fuel

This study seeks to objectively answer these two questions through empirical and numerical means. The outcome of this study will yield an objective means of assessing two criteria (coolable geometry and long-term cooling) within the existing regulatory process to comprehensively understand whether it is feasible to increase burnup and while satisfying 10 CFR 50.46.
