NSUF 18-CINR-14741: Demonstration of a Methodology for Direct Validation of MARMOT Irradiation-Induced Microstructural Evolution and Physical Property Models Using U-10Zr
The objective of this project is to demonstrate, for the first time, a methodology that enables the direct validation of microstructural evolution models for nuclear fuel in MARMOT, and the direct correlation of changes in physical properties with specific irradiation-induced microstructural features. Implementing this methodology will result in rapid development of MARMOT mesoscale models. The availability of accurate fuel (and material) models on this scale is a key to further decreasing the time required for nuclear fuel and material development and licensing.
