Effect on processing conditions on grain boundary character distribution and mobility in nuclear fuels

abstract: The initial microstructure of oxide fuel pellets can play a key role in their performance. At low burnups, the transport of fission products has a strong dependence on oxygen content, grain size distribution, porosity and grain boundary (GB) characteristics (crystallography, geometry and t...
