Description
Taylor and Francis Ltd Materials Science and Fuel Technologies of Uranium and Plutonium Mixed Oxide 1st Edition 2022 Hardbound by Kato, Masato
Materials Science and Fuel Technologies of Uranium and Plutonium Mixed Oxide offers a deep understanding of MOX properties for nuclear fuels that will be useful for performance evaluation. It also reviews fuel property simulation technology and an irradiation behavior model required for performance evaluation._x000D__x000D_Based on research findings, the book investigates various physical property data in order to develop MOX fuel for sodium-cooled fast reactors. It discusses a database of MOX properties, including oxygen potential, melting temperature, the lattice parameter, sound speeds, thermal expansion, thermal diffusivity, oxygen self-diffusion, and chemical diffusion coefficients, that was used to derive a science-based model of MOX properties (Sci-M Pro) for fuel-performance code development._x000D__x000D_Features:_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Concisely covers the essential aspects of MOX nuclear fuels. _x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Explores MOX nuclear fuels by systematically evaluating various physical property values using a behavior model. _x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Presents fuel property simulation technology. _x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Considers oxygen potential, the lattice parameter, sound speeds, and oxygen self-diffusion. _x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Discusses melting temperature, thermal expansion, thermal diffusivity, and chemical diffusion coefficients._x000D__x000D_The book will be useful for researchers and engineers working in the field of nuclear fuels and nuclear materials._x000D_ _x000D_
