Abstract

Characterization and modeling of unirradiated transmutation fuel is being conducted as part of the project. Microstructural characterization of the Pu-Zr and U-Pu-Zr fuels reveals unprecedented level of detail with regards to the structure and chemistry of the primary, secondary, and impurity phases formed in these fuel alloys. Microstructural data is linked to thermal properties of the fuel, and being used as an input to MARMOT code. Combining experimental and modeling efforts will give the information needed to provide a thorough understanding of metallic fuels, their radiation response, and shed light on the future of metallic fuels for next generation fast reactor applications.
