Technical report Letter: RAFM, ODS steels and MMLC for Nuclear energy application
The lifetime, thermodynamic efficiency, safety and economic viability of new generation fission and fusion reactor concepts can largely be tied to the mechanical performance and stability of structural alloys under extreme environments. In this context, engineered nano materials could have broad-reaching impact on the future of advanced nuclear fuel-cycle and reactors. These systems are characterized by a large number density of interfaces which are efficient sinks for point defects and moderately biased; therefore limiting the deleterious effects of irradiation. Broadly, nuclear nano-technology deals with the use of the latest engineered-nanomaterials for improving the nuclear power performances and safety in all areas of nuclear energy production to bring new generations of nuclear power units. New advanced fuel assembly designs also have implications for securities and safeguards. To support the readiness for potential future license applications, an understanding of the technologies that would enable new reactor designs in the areas of component performance and domestic safeguards is necessary. This technical report letter work explores the technical issues and potential regulatory considerations associated with developing and adopting fuel claddings made of advanced nano- materials. Specifically three classes of nanomaterials are considered: (i) reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steels, (ii)oxide dispersed steels (ODS) and (iii) multi-metallic layered composites (MMLC).

Multi-scale simulation of high burnup UO2 nuclear fuel during loss-of-coolant accident conditions
To improve the economics of commercial nuclear energy generation, U.S. utilities are currently seeking licensing approval to operate UO2 fuel to higher burnups. One significant safety issue that must be addressed to obtain approval is the potential for fine fragmentation/pulverization of the fuel during a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). It has been hypothesized that pulverization is caused by the rapid increase of pressure in fission gas bubbles in the high burnup region of the fuel during a LOCA. To better understand this phenomenon, a novel phase-field model of the fission gas bubble microstructure in UO2 has been developed and implemented in Idaho National Laboratory (INL)'s Marmot application for phase-field simulation of nuclear materials. Simulations of the bubble response to steady-state and transient conditions were conducted, and the results were used to inform a mechanistic model of pulverization in BISON, INL’s fuel performance simulation code.

Characterization and qualification of neutron radiation effects – Summary of Japan-USA Joint Projects for 40 years
The Joint Projects under the Japan-USA Fusion Cooperation Program started in 1981 and has continued for more than 40 years. In the Joint Projects, although a wide range of fusion materials and engineering issues were covered, neutron radiation effects on fusion reactor materials have always been the major research emphases, and the neutron irradiation facilities in the US were jointly used by Japanese and US researchers. Japanese test facilities including neutron and charged particle irradiation facilities were complementarily used. Here, the initial focus of the Joint Projects was on fundamental fusion neutron radiation effects and irradiation correlation. Systematic comparison of fission and fusion radiation effects in comparable damage levels and the effects of transmutation-induced helium were investigated. The collaboration was then focused on the effect of dynamic irradiation effects in variable conditions. In addition to the relatively fundamental studies, the Joint Projects contributed largely to development of candidate materials such as RAFM steels, vanadium alloys, SiC/SiC composites, and tungsten alloys, through a mechanism-oriented approach. The Joint Projects also covered issues specific to materials application to fusion blankets and plasma-facing components, including neutron radiation effects such as tritium retention and permeation of neutron-irradiated plasma-facing materials. Various irradiation technologies were developed and applied to the irradiation experiments, including those for in-situ testing.Considering that high energy neutron sources, such as A-FNS and IFMIF-DONES, now have high viability, the research supporting the neutron source programs is essential. The knowledge obtained through the Joint Projects is valuable and should be advanced for this purpose. To this end, it is of urgent necessity to launch an international scientific program accumulating knowledge of fusion neutron radiation effects, including their fundamental aspects.

In situ microstructural evolution in face-centered and body-centered cubic complex concentrated solid-solution alloys under heavy ion irradiation
This study characterizes the microstructural evolution of single-phase complex concentrated solid-solution alloy (CSA) compositions under heavy ion irradiation with the goal of evaluating mechanisms for CSA radiation tolerance in advanced fission systems. Three such alloys, Cr 18 Fe 27 Mn 27 Ni 28 , Cr 15 Fe 35 Mn 15 Ni 35 , and equimolar NbTaTiV, along with reference materials (pure Ni and E90 for the Cr-FeMnNi family and pure V for NbTaTiV) were irradiated at 50 K and 773 K with 1 MeV Kr ++ ions to various levels of displacements per atom (dpa) using in-situ transmission electron microscopy. Cryogenic irradiation resulted in small defect clusters and faulted dislocation loops as large as 12 nm in face-centered cubic (FCC) CSAs. With thermal diffusion suppressed at cryogenic temperatures, defect densities were lower in all CSAs than in their less compositionally complex reference materials indicating that point defect production is reduced during the displacement cascade stage. High temperature irradiation of the two FCC CSA resulted in the formation of interstitial dislocation loops which by 2 dpa grew to an average size of 27 nm in Cr 18 Fe 27 Mn 27 Ni 28 and 10 nm in Cr 15 Fe 35 Mn 15 Ni 35 . This difference in loop growth kinetics was attributed to the difference in Mn-content due to its effect on the nucleation rate by increasing vacancy mobility or reducing the stacking-fault energy.

Mechanisms of Retention and Transport of Fission Products in Virgin and Irradiated Nuclear Graphite
To fulfill the design and licensing requirements for advanced reactors, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is specifically interested in targeted research to quantify the mechanisms of fission product transport and retention in graphitic grades that will likely be used in next-generation very/high temperature reactors, fluoride salt-cooled high temperature reactors and molten salt reactors. We have examined an integrated experimental-computational approach to determine the diffusivities of selected fission products – ruthenium (Ru) and silver (Ag) in five nuclear graphite grades – POCO AXF-5Q, POCO ZXF-5Q, PCEA, IG110, and NBG-18. Experimental investigation for diffusion of other fission products (iodine, cesium, and krypton) in graphite could not be carried out due to extreme evaporation due to high vapor pressure, despite several attempts incorporating various experimental schemes. Experimental investigation with irradiated graphite could not be carried out because necessary approval to transport irradiated graphite could not be obtained due to procedural reasons at ORNL and national policy change in UK. An effort was made to “produce” by ion sputtering, but it was discontinued because the outcome did not adequately represent irradiated graphite. Thin film and “cup-and-cap” methods were employed to deposit fission products, diffusion annealed were carried out in an argon atmosphere, and concentration profiles were determined by dynamic secondary ion mass spectroscopy depth profiling technique. Regardless of graphite type, anomalous diffusion behavior of Ru (i.e., lower than expected based on Arrhenius temperature dependence) at an intermediate temperature, around 600 to 700 °C, was observed. Diffusion behavior of silver on the other hand agreed well to the Arrhenius temperature dependence although the excessive evaporation of silver hampered the accurate determination of diffusivities at temperature higher than 900 °C. In general, silver was observed to diffuse faster than Ru in the temperature range compared from 500 to 900 °C, had consistently had higher pre-exponential factor corresponding to higher jump frequency. To understand the abnormal diffusional behavior of Ru in graphite in intermediate temperature range, a detailed microstructural analysis was carried out. Clustering of Ru into particles on the surface of graphite was observed around 700 °C corresponding to de-wetting and spheroidization. This change would influence the boundary condition of diffusion, although features of clustering was much smaller (<1 mm) than the SIMS raster size (120 x 120 mm). Raman spectroscopy also demonstrated that Raman peak intensity for Ru decreased significantly for samples annealed higher than 700 °C and presence of Ru in graphite altered the crystallinity of graphite. To further elucidate the abnormal diffusion behavior observed in intermediate temperature investigated, the vibrational properties of graphene, bilayer graphene and Kr atoms in bilayer graphene were investigated with molecular dynamics. Krypton, which is a fission product, was introduced between a bilayer graphene system to evaluate (i) whether the phonon dispersion curves change with high temperature in bilayer graphene (ii) whether the addition of Kr atoms between the bilayer introduces any significant change in the vibrational properties, and (iii) whether any change in the vibrational properties can be correlated to the diffusive behavior of Kr atoms. The results show that the Kr atoms indeed exhibit an anomalous diffusive behavior at 550°C. Phonon analysis shows that a few phonon frequencies are enhanced as much as 20 to 30 % with the addition of just 0.2 at.% Kr. So, this may explain the unexpected self-diffusivity of fission products.

Corrosion of 347 stainless steel in the presence of uranyl sulfate solution and radiation
The U.S. molybdenum 99 (Mo-99) industry is pursuing production of fission-made Mo-99 using a uranium solution such as uranyl sulfate. In this process, uranyl sulfate solution containing low-enriched uranium will be bombarded by neutrons creating Mo-99 and other fission products. During the production, the uranyl sulfate solution will be irradiated until an acceptable activity level of Mo-99 is produced. The uranyl sulfate solution containing Mo-99 and other fission products will then undergo a series of separation steps. First, uranyl sulfate can be separated from Mo-99 using a primary titania column to recover Mo-99, with the uranyl sulfate solution to be used for another irradiation cycle. Then, raffinate from a primary titania column containing Mo-99 can be concentrated and purified using a LEU modified Cintichem process developed by Argonne National Laboratory. During irradiation, the temperature of the uranyl sulfate solution can reach near boiling (up to ~80° C assumed), causing radiolysis of water and the resultant formation of hydrogen peroxide. Because high-radiation fields will be present during each irradiation cycle, it is important to determine the corrosion rates of SS-347 under such conditions to estimate the life cycle of the target solution vessel. The buildup of corrosion products from the SS components in the uranyl sulfate solution also needs to be well understood because potential accumulation of iron, nickel, and other corrosion products may affect the Mo-99 recovery and purification process. To study the corrosion rates of SS-347 material under conditions relevant to future Mo-99 production facility, SS-347 coupons in uranyl sulfate solution at ~80° C were irradiated using Argonne’s Van de Graaff generator, which can generate high-radiation fields without fissioning of uranium or production of activation products.

Understanding Materials Characteristics of Palladium Lanthanide Cermet Wires as a Mimic of Californium Wire Production
Californium-252 (Cf-252) has been synthesized on a large scale (mg) since the 1970s for use as a portable neutron source. With a half-life of 2.645 years and a spontaneous fission fraction of 3.09%, Cf-252 emits 2.31 × 10 12 neutrons/gram second. Today most of the Cf-252 produced in the world is made at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) using the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and the Radiochemical Engineering Development Center (REDC). Because of its highly radioactive nature, all manipulations of Cf-252 need to be performed in hot cell facilities by highly trained personnel. The Cf-252 produced at ORNL is done at the REDC, which is conveniently located next to the HFIR. Cf-252 is sold as bulk wire, which has been described as palladium (Pd) metal incasing californium oxide (Cf 2 O 3 ). The process was developed by Mosley et al. at Savannah River Laboratory (SRL) where it was modeled after the thorium work done by Fuschillo et al. This process has been used since the 1970s to synthesize this unique wire, but its fundamental chemistry and materials characteristics were never openly reported. Here we aim to better understand the chemistry and the materials characteristics of Cf-252 wire production for process improvements and to better our fundamental understanding of the mid-late actinides. Though there are many challenges in working with radioactive elements such as Cf, the isotope Cf-252 is even more complicated due to its neutron emission. One challenge with neutron emission is the ability of neutrons to penetrate much deeper through materials, causing radiation damage. This makes using instrumentation to characterize the chemistry and materials properties of this process difficult. For this reason, this study will first focus on terbium (Tb) as a surrogate for Cf. Currently Tb is used as a carrier or filler in Cf production when small amounts of Cf are being processed. This, along with their similar size and charge, makes Tb a reasonable surrogate for this study.

High-Burnup LOCA Burst Susceptibility BISON Analysis in PWRs and BWRs
Accurately assessing high-burnup fuel behavior during loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs) is essential for understanding fuel fragmentation, relocation, and dispersal (FFRD) risks across the US light-water reactor fleet. This work updates previous Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) Program multiphysics LOCA analyses for a pressurized water reactor (PWR) and a boiling water reactor (BWR) by incorporating recent model and material property advancements in the BISON fuel performance code, including a high-burnup structure (HBS) model, revised cladding burst criteria, and updated thermal–mechanical correlations. This update was needed to support ongoing industry initiatives and upcoming regulatory changes. Full-core, rod-resolved operating histories generated using Virtual Environment for Reactor Analysis (VERA) and system-level LOCA conditions obtained from TRACE were applied to statistically representative rod samples in BISON to evaluate burst behavior and FFRD susceptibility. These calculations used two cladding burst correlations and three fuel pulverization models so that the predictions of these models could be compared. The updated PWR simulations show markedly improved numerical stability as the number of crashed simulations decreased by 95% compared to the previous study, and hence higher confidence in results. The updated PWR simulations predicted cladding bursts exclusively among once-burned, high-power rods, with two different cladding burst models identifying the same burst-susceptible population. Resulting FFRD susceptibility estimates are significantly reduced compared with earlier studies, driven by cooler predicted fuel and plenum temperatures, lower hoop strains, and reduced fission gas release in the updated models. In contrast, none of the BWR rods were predicted to burst under either burst criterion, reaffirming minimal BWR FFRD susceptibility even with updated HBS and material models. Comparisons between the PWR and BWR end-of-cycle predictions are made. Comparison with prior work highlights significant shifts in PWR fuel performance metrics and confirmation of earlier BWR conclusions. Overall, the updated results underscore the importance of having high-resolution detailed modeling capability and continuously integrating evolving material models and physics into high-resolution multiphysics simulations. The unified assessment presented here strengthens confidence in predicting high-burnup LOCA behavior by improving agreement between different cladding burst correlations. These results also provide an improved foundation for future BISON model development, FFRD susceptibility calculations.

BISON TRISO Modeling Advancements and Validation to AGR-1 Data
BISON is a finite element-based nuclear fuel performance code. Among its unique characteristics are its ability to model 1D, 2D, and 3D geometries and its applicability to a wide variety of nuclear fuels. For the last eight years, BISON has included a beginning capability to model tri-structural isotropic (TRISO) fuel. Recently, interest in TRISO fuel has grown, and a significant effort has been made to improve BISON’s capabilities in this area. Capability development has occurred for each material present in TRISO fuel particles: the buffer, inner pyrolytic carbon, silicon carbide, and outer pyrolytic carbon layers, as well as the fuel kernel. New elastic, creep, swelling, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, and fission gas release (FGR) models are available. New models for the graphite matrix are also now available. Another important addition is the ability to perform statistical failure analysis of large samples of fuel particles. This new capability, which continues to grow, enables evaluation of failure due to pressure or crack formation by analyzing many thousands of particles. This enables realistic calculations of fission product release from the many particles in a TRISO-fueled reactor. These capabilities were checked via regression and verification tests. A large number of code benchmarking problems were also run, showing that BISON’s results closely match those of other software tools. Finally, a significant validation effort was completed in which fission product release, measured as part of the AGR-1 capsule experiments, was compared to BISON outputs. BISON outputs compared very well to the experimental data and to PARFUME results. Interest in BISON’s TRISO capabilities is growing, with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Westinghouse Electric Company receiving training during the past year. Multiple other entities have expressed interest in or are actively using BISON. Kairos Power, LLC, has a strong partnership with Idaho National Laboratory (INL) regarding the use of BISON for TRISO analysis. While its capabilities still continue to grow, BISON has already become a powerful tool for TRISO analysis.

Numerical evaluation of AGR-2 fission product release
The AGR-2 experiment produced normal operation and accident condition fuel performance data for tri-structural isotropic (TRISO) particles with UCO and UO 2 kernels. Data for compacts with no failed particles and for compacts with one or more failed particles are available. To model the fission product diffusion and release from these compacts, it is important to consider the computational mesh as well as the heat conduction and mass diffusion properties of the materials in a TRISO particle. Code and solution verification studies with the Bison fuel performance code were performed to show that the code is computing correct solutions. Bison comparisons to post-irradiation examination data and PARFUME predictions were made for several sets of compacts. Furthermore, these comparisons considered silver, cesium, strontium, and krypton with and without failed particles. Bison predictions closely match those of PARFUME, while both codes generally overpredict post-irradiation examination data.

Decay studies of the 𝛽-delayed neutron emitters 87 Br and 88 Br measured by means of the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer at ORNL HRIBF
The β decays of 87 Br, 88 Br, and 87 Kr were measured with the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer (MTAS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF). Both bromine isotopes are β-delayed neutron emitters that have large cumulative fission yields and were identified as top-priority cases for total absorption study by the Nuclear Energy Agency in 2007. Our investigations corroborate that the decay schemes of 87 Br and 88 Br suffer from the so-called pandemonium effect. Unique MTAS properties enable direct neutron measurements. Here, we present MTAS-derived β-delayed neutron spectra, β-delayed neutron emission probabilities of P n ( 87 Br) = 2.36(24)%, and P n ( 88 Br) = 6.4(6)%, and the β-delayed neutron transitions intensity of 4(2)% to the first excited 87 Kr state, populated in the β-neutron decay of 88Br. Incorporating new data into calculations of the electromagnetic decay heat component emitted during thermal neutron fission of 235 U and 239 Pu improves agreement with experimental data up to approximately 80 s after fission. The estimation of the nuclear reactor $\bar{ν}_e$ flux results in changes of up to 1% in the expected $\bar{ν}_e$ interactions with the detector material for 235 U, 238 U, 239Pu, and 241 Pu.

A density functional theory analysis of the adsorption and surface chemistry of inorganic iodine species on graphitea
In the event of a nuclear accident, fission products may be released into the environment. The release of 131 I is of particular concern to human health. Iodine can be captured using a number of materials and frequently, this is accomplished with activated carbon impregnated with organic bases. Previous studies have used DFT and the graphite (0001) surface as a surrogate for adsorption, those studies focus on the species I • , I 2 , and CH 3 I. In this work we perform an ab initio study of the adsorption onto the surface of a graphite sheet of I 2 , CH 3 I, and inorganic acidic iodine species (HI, HOI, HIO 2 , and HIO 3 ), which were selected to examine the possible effect of oxidation state on adsorption. The PBE exchange-correlation functional with D3 dispersion was employed. It was found that for molecular iodine, the iodine atoms tended to either situate above the center of a hexagonal site on the graphite or directly atop a carbon atom with the lighter components resting closer to the graphite. For each species the relative binding energies spanned the range of 21–33 kJ mol -1 and graphite-iodine distance was in the range of 3.52–3.93 Å. In all cases we found no significant charge transfer between the iodine species and the graphite, thus we conclude that all the iodine species studied undergo strong physisorption to the graphite.

In Situ Spectroscopic Monitoring of MSR Molten Salt and Off-Gas Systems
A significant challenge that must be overcome before commercialization of molten salt reactors is tracking special nuclear material (SNM) through the reactor and subsystems such as fuel chemical processing and off-gas systems. In recent years, several approaches have been explored to track SNM, fission products, and corrosion products in these different subsystems. One such approach is to employ laser and optical spectroscopy to measure the atomic and molecular signals of MSR salts. The advantages of these approaches are that they typically are non-intrusive and offer the capability of process monitoring while still providing low uncertainties. At the Idaho National Laboratory, spectroscopy approaches such as laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy have been utilized to investigate molten salts in an aerosol (LiCl, KCl, RbCl2, NdCl3, and PrCl3) and vapor phases (MgCl5, NdCl5, and ZrCl4) with success. Testing to date has yielded qualitative information on all the above species and quantitative data and analytical figures of merit for species in the vapor phases. These findings, including results from ongoing testing, as well as the experimental conditions and potential applications will be presented.

A Review of Advanced Test Reactor Fuel and Assessment of Its Compatibility with the ZIRCEX Chlorination Process
Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) fuel has been identified as a resource for high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) production. A survey was performed on the published literature describing ATR fuel. The geometry of the fuel is complex; different parts of the fuel compact experience differing neutron flux and burnup. The literature is sparse, and access is controlled. Therefore, fundamental studies of fuel reprocessing must use a model fuel that represents the main chemical and structural features. Advanced chlorination, or chlorination with sulfur-chlorine bearing reagents is being investigated as way to separate the fuel from metal matrix alloys. A UAl x alloy will be fabricated with x = 3, 4, and 5. The potential chlorination of individual UAl x intermetallics will be assessed in the advanced chlorination process of Al-8001 and Al-6061 as well as a representative mixture. Initial studies will track the alloying elements of the Al, which are Si, Fe, Cu, Mn, Mg, Cr, Zn, and Ti, in addition to the U itself. Further studies will include fission product simulants. Because advanced chlorination solvents include sulfur, the chemistry of sulfur with major and minor constituents will also be investigated. The experimental work accompanied by neutronic calculations will allow the assessment of the feasibility of advanced chlorination to separate aluminum from uranium. If bench-scale testing appears promising, then small-scale tests in shielded facilities with irradiated cladding, lightly irradiated fuel, and spent nuclear fuel are recommended to track the complete inventory of fissile actinides, fission product impurities, and reagent solids and liquids.

Measurement of the Neutron-Induced Capture-to-Fission Cross Section Ratio in 233 U at LANSCE [Slides]
This presentation finds that new measurement at LANSCE combining DANCE and NEUANCE at the end of 2020 and 2021. Additionally, two samples of 10 mg and 20 mg of 233 U have been prepared at LANL by Evelyn M. Bond (December 2020). Data analysis has been finished and results of the capture-to-fission ratio on 233 U in the neutron energy region from 0.7 eV to 250 keV have been provided. The focus was to provide data from 1-300 keV. We are providing data from 0.7 eV to 1 keV in addition. The result has been normalized to the ENDF/B-VIII.0 broadened capture-to-fission cross section ratio in the neutron energy region recommended by the Luiz Leal and Marco Pigni, between 8.1 and 14.7 eV. This is the first measurement of the capture-to-fission ratio between 2 - 30 keV. The data show some small differences in the RRR with the evaluation though the general trend is consistent. In the URR this data shows a smaller capture-to-fission ratio than the evaluation from 10 to 150 keV
