Simulation of the CRUD formation process using the Lattice Boltzmann Method
The Axial Offset Anomaly (AOA) is a major impediment to increases in reactor fuel performance preventing PWRs from operating with even more efficient core designs than they are at present. It is a phenomenon where boron compounds such as lithium metaborate LiBO$_2$ and nickel-boroferrite …

A numerical study on parameters affecting boric acid transport and chemistry within fuel corrosion deposits during crud induced power shift
… with or without power uprates has led to axially downward shift in power production. This shift in power has been defined as Axial Offset Anomaly (AOA). Boric acid, which is used as a soluble neutron absorber in PWRs, has been identified as the chief contributor to AOA through accumulation …

A study of solute transport of radiolysis products in crud and its effects on crud growth on PWR fuel pin
… reactors, which can cause the occurrence of an Axial Offset Anomaly (AOA). Approximately 20 U.S. PWRs have experienced significant Crud-Induced axial Power Shift or CIPS (also referred to as AOA), an unexpected measured shift in axial power distribution from predicted values. Such abnormal …
