Reduction of Solid Uranium Dioxide in Calcium Salts
Nuclear energy has gained crucial importance since it has a minor impact on climate change and greenhouse gas releases; additionally, the other energy sources are insufficient to reach the world's energy needs without nuclear energy. Another sign that the Generation IV International Forum (Kelly, …

Material Interactions with Molten LiCl-Li2O-Li
The electrolytic reduction of oxide nuclear fuel in a molten lithium chloride electrolyte containing 1-2wt% lithium oxide is a fuel cycle process that has been established on an engineering scale. The electrochemical window of lithium oxide must be exceeded in order to conduct this process at an …

Formation and growth of irradiation-induced defect structures in ceria
… are of primary concern for materials used in nuclear energy production. In this study, emphasis was given to the processes of formation and growth of radiation-induced defect structures in oxide fuels. Due to the natural complexity of oxide fuels, which consist of both a metal sublattice and …

Computer simulation of defect evolution in lanthanum doped cerium dioxide under irradiation
Uranium dioxide is the most common choice for fuel material in fission reactors. However, the radioactivity of uranium limits the experimental approaches on the oxide fuel material. Fortunately, cerium dioxide has been shown to be a good surrogate of uranium dioxide in many aspects. To better …
