NEUP IRP-20-22094: Multi-physics fuel performance modeling of TRISO-bearing fuel in advanced reactor environments

The overarching objective of this project is to develop and validate accurate and computationally efficient multiphysics TRISO fuel performance models for advanced pebble bed fluoride cooled, and gas cooled high temperature reactor concepts currently being pursued by industry partners. BISON-based fuel performance models will be informed by reactor core modeling tools, and focus on predicting the thermal-mechanical response of TRISO fuel compacts during normal operation and transient accidents.
