Three-Dimensional Modeling of Thermal-Mechanical Behavior of Accident Tolerant Fuels

Considering the safety issues of the traditional UO2-Zr fuel, a variety of accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) candidates have been proposed in recent years. Among the several ATFs, U3Si2, and UN are the two promising candidates for fuel materials owing to their high thermal conductivity and high uranium d...
