Application of data-driven methods in nuclear fuel performance analysis
Accurately predicting the behavior of nuclear fuel performance is essential for the safe and economic operation of nuclear reactors. Computer codes of different fidelities have been developed over past decades to simulate the behavior of nuclear fuels, such as the multi-dimensional, parallel, …

An improved structural mechanics model for the FRAPCON nuclear fuel performance code
… Mechanical Interaction (PCMI) for the FRAPCON nuclear fuel performance code, a new model, the FRAPCON Radial-Axial Soft Pellet (FRASP) model, was developed. This new model uses 1.5D structural mechanics to represent both the fuel pellet and cladding along with their interaction via interfacial …

A novel framework for data-driven modeling, uncertainty quantification, and deep learning of nuclear reactor simulations
… various physical phenomena that occur inside nuclear reactors, such as neutronics, reactor kinetics, fuel depletion, thermal-hydraulics, and fuel performance as well as outside the reactor such as spent fuel and criticality safety. The framework utilizes various computer models in the nuclear …
