  • Thermal conductivity modeling of unrestructured sphere pac nuclear fuels

    Creator:
    Willison, James Stuart
    Abstract:
    In order to properly model the temperature distribution of a nuclear fuel pin, the thermal conductivity of the fuel must be known. For sphere pac fuel, the modeling of the conductivity is complicated due to the fact that the fuel is a collection of spheres in a random packed bed....

  • Gadolinium particle depletion in light water reactor fuel rods

    Creator:
    Hartley, Kenneth D.
    Abstract:
    Gadolinium is an important element to the Nuclear Fuel Industry. Two of the seven naturally occurring isotopes of gadolinium have very large absorption cross sections for thermal neutrons. The isotopes of ¹⁵⁵ Gd and ¹⁵⁷ Gd readily absorb thermal neutrons and transmute to ¹⁵⁶ Gd and ¹⁵⁸ Gd which are...
