Ultra-low-level measurements of airborne fission products from the Fukushima Daiichi reactor accident using high volume collection systems at Savannah River National Laboratory

For this study, ultra-low-level measurements of radionuclides in air have been conducted at the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) to determine the atmospheric concentration of fission products released following the Fukushima Daiichi reactor accident on March 11, 2011. Air filter samples were acquired from two high-volume collection systems (a traditional filter-based system and an electrostatic precipitator-based system) to monitor airborne radionuclide concentrations in the period covering from 2 weeks to 3 years after the disaster. The world-wide spread of low-level concentrations of airborne fission products from the Fukushima event provided a unique opportunity to demonstrate SRNL's electrostatic particle collection technology and other improvements in environmental monitoring developed at the Savannah River Site (SRS). Detecting and analyzing the release allowed a comprehensive test of SRS systems for monitoring environmental radioactivity. Gamma-ray-emitting fission products ( 131,132 I, 134,136,137 Cs, and 129,132 Te) and cosmogenic isotopes ( 7 Be and 22 Na) in air were detected and quantified by high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy at concentrations as low as 0.07 μBq per standard cubic meter (SCM) (50 mBq total 137 Cs), while plutonium content was quantified by thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) at concentrations as low as 6.5 × 10 –21 g/SCM (3.0 fg 239+240 Pu). Isotope concentrations measured at SRNL from gamma-ray spectroscopy were compared to independent measurements from Chapel Hill, NC, located approximately 370 km (230 mi) NE of SRNL. Meteorological modeling was also used to predict radionuclide transport from the location of release to both measurement locations.

Multi-element isotopic analysis of hot particles from Chornobyl

Microscopic fuel fragments, so-called “hot particles”, were released during the 1986 accident at the Chornobyl nuclear powerplant and continue to contaminate the exclusion zone in northern Ukraine. Isotopic analysis can provide vital information about sample origin, history and contamination of the environment, though it has been underutilized due to the destructive nature of most mass spectrometric techniques, and inability to remove isobaric interference. Recent developments have diversified the range of elements that can be investigated through resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS), notably in the fission products. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the application of multi-element analysis on hot particles as relates to their burnup, particle formation in the accident, and weathering. The particles were analysed with two RIMS instruments: resonant-laser secondary neutral mass spectrometry (rL-SNMS) at the Institute for Radiation Protection and Radioecology (IRS) in Hannover, Germany, and laser ionization of neutrals (LION) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, USA. Comparable results across instruments show a range of burnup dependent isotope ratios for U and Pu and Cs, characteristic of RBMK-type reactors. Results for Rb, Ba and Sr show the influence of the environment, retention of Cs in the particles and time passed since fuel discharge.

Characterization of a minor actinides bearing metallic fuel pin irradiated in EBR-II

The X501 transmutation experiment irradiated in Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II) was intended to evaluate the safety and performance of the addition of minor actinides (Am, Np) into the metallic nuclear fuel system. The irradiation of this experiment is also of paramount importance for comparisons between true fast spectrum irradiations (e.g. EBR-II) and shrouded irradiation capsules performed at the thermal neutron spectrum Idaho National Laboratory Advanced Test Reactor. The X501 experimental fuel pins were irradiated to a peak measured burnup of 6.2% fission per initial heavy metal atom. This paper reports and discusses Postirradiation Examination results for one of two minor actinide bearing pins from the EBR-II X-501 experiment (X501-G591) with a focus on fuel microstructure evolution. Additionally, fuel swelling, fission product distribution, cladding strain, fission gas release, fuel microstructure and fuel cladding chemical interaction were all evaluated. The fission gas release was 79.9% and the microstructure along the fuel pin presented several characteristics very similar to other EBR-II U-Pu-Zr ternary metallic fuel experience. Minor actinides seem to not dramatically affect the overall performance of this candidate transmutation fuel. Scanning Electron Microscopy was also performed and an in-depth characterization of the different regions and phases is presented. Performance data from these irradiations can be used to inform the feasibility of minor actinide transmutation in future reactor systems.

A CALPHAD-informed approach to modeling constituent redistribution in Zr-based metallic fuels using BISON

Here, a CALPHAD-informed (Computer Coupling of Phase Diagrams and Thermochemistry) constituent redistribution model was developed for Zr-based metallic fuels and incorporated into the BISON fuel performance code. Three uncertain model parameters associated with β and γ phase kinetics were calibrated using integral test data from U-Zr fuel elements irradiated in Experimental Breeder Reactor II. The calibrated constituent redistribution model was shown to predict the behavior of U-Zr fuels with excellent accuracy. Model predictions for U-Pu-Zr fuels were physically reasonable but less accurate. Reduction of uncertainties in the ternary phase transition temperatures and collection of kinetic data for the ζ phase are expected to improve the model’s ternary predictions. Finally, the new model was coupled to existing thermomechanics models in BISON to simulate irradiation of an entire U-Zr fuel element, demonstrating its ability to accurately predict the behavior of U-Zr fuels with realistic geometries and mesh resolutions at the engineering scale.

Testing fast reactor fuels in a thermal reactor: Comparison of transmutation metallic fuel alloys behavior by scanning electron microscopy

To optimize nuclear waste repository performance, the destruction of minor actinide elements, particularly Np and Am, in a neutron fast spectrum reactor is possible by incorporating these elements into nuclear fuel. Evaluating the performance of minor actinide containing fuel is of paramount importance to enabling this technology. However, such a task is challenging without an available domestic fast spectrum test reactor. A comparison of fuel performance tested in an available domestic thermal reactor at the Idaho National Laboratory, the Advanced Test Reactor, and in a fast spectrum reactor in France (Phénix) is presented here in this study. This study evaluates the capability of using a cadmium shrouded test position to mimic the power profile along the fuel radius present in fast spectrum reactors so that thermally driven phenomenon (e.g., constituent redistribution) can be evaluated in a thermal reactor and determined to be prototypical of a fast reactor. Thus, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy has been performed on irradiated 35U-29Pu-4Am-2Np-30Zr fuel samples (where the number preceding the element is the weight percent concentration) from the two mentioned reactors that present similar irradiation temperatures and power conditions. The results indicate that fuel performance phenomena are reproducible in the two irradiation conditions. The redistribution of Zr occurred in the same manner for the two samples. Similar partitioning of U-Pu-Zr phases was observed, and the behavior of Am was similar in the analyzed specimens. Finally, the overall microstructure evolution seems not to be affected by minor actinides addition compared to expected behavior of conventional U-19Pu-10Zr ternary metal fuels for both specimens. Slight differences in fuel cladding chemical interaction were, however, observed. This difference is likely driven by difference in cladding composition rather than irradiation conditions.

Development and formulation of physics based metallic fuel models and comparison to integral irradiation data

Metallic fuel has an important historical significance in the development of nuclear reactors and continues to be relevant to the progression of advanced test and power reactors. A number of models, ranging from empirical to mechanistic, have been developed and implemented in various fuel performance codes to describe U-Zr and U-Pu-Zr fuel and typical fast reactor cladding materials. One challenge of using these models to simulate fuel performance is the inevitable tangling of coupled phenomena that can cloud proper implementation, calibration, and eventual utilization of new models. Here in an effort to provide a baseline capability that will facilitate the use of advanced models, new capabilities have been implemented into the fuel performance code BISON specific to metallic fuel simulations, ranging from materials properties, fission gas release and swelling calculations, coolant channel models, and cladding correlations. These models have been applied to the X441/X441A EBR-II experimental assembly data, a set of irradiated metallic UPuZr fuel rods of varying pin designs. The models implemented in BISON are able to capture the general trend of the expected response of the fuel and cladding to irradiation in EBR-II, especially when considering the spread in experimental measurements and the uncertainties inherited from the historical material models. Ultimately, the models outlined here provide the baseline capabilities on which new models can build upon in order to improve the prediction of metallic fuel performance simulations in off-normal designs or operations.

Analysis of radially resolved thermal conductivity in high burnup mixed oxide fuel and comparison to thermal conductivity correlations implemented in fuel performance codes

The thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of high burnup (19 % FIMA) mixed oxide (U, Pu)O 2 nuclear fuel has been measured along the radial direction using a thermoreflectance-based method. Measured thermal conductivity exhibits a notable radial variation consistent with the expectations that a large temperature gradient across the annular fuel pellet leads to a heterogeneous microstructure. A common fuel performance model of thermal conductivity, the Lucuta-Inoue model, is used to analyze the measured thermal conductivity profile. Further, this model adequately captures the radial dependence of thermal conductivity except in the periphery. The analysis suggests that the characteristic radial shape of the thermal conductivity profile follows the burnup profile within the fuel pin. In the periphery, the high burnup structure is formed and the conductivity model, not capturing this effect, likely overestimates the thermal conductivity.

Swelling and Fission Gas Release of U-10Mo and U-17Mo Following Neutron Irradiation at 250 – 500°C

The performance of metallic fuel alloys, U-10Mo and U-17Mo, was examined using the MiniFuel test system in the High Flux Isotope Reactor. Approximately 0.8 mm thick disks were irradiated at target temperatures of 250°C, 350°C, 450°C, and 500°C up to three different fission densities, culminating at a maximum fission density of 6.8 × 10 20 cm −3 . Fission rates decayed from 3 – 6 × 10 13 cm −3 s −1 to 2 – 4 × 10 13 cm −3 s −1 over the course of the longest, eight cycle, irradiation as the 235 U was consumed and the 239 Pu concentration accumulated. Actual irradiation temperature on the last day of irradiation was measured via dilatometry using the SiC passive thermometry recovered from the MiniFuel subcapsules and compared favorably with the thermal calculations using as-built geometry and test conditions. Furthermore, average simulated temperatures were within 50°C of the target temperatures, except for the 500°C irradiation, for which the temperature variation was 62°C, 32°C, and 90°C in the in two, four, and eight cycle irradiations, respectively. Fission gas release (FGR) measurements showed no release above recoil for any U-17Mo fuels or for the U-10Mo fuel irradiated at 250°C. Finally, significant (40%–80%) FGR was found for the medium- to highest-burnup U-10Mo samples irradiated at target temperatures 350°C–500°C. Significant FGR correlated with sample thickness swelling, which was as high as 13%–35% for high-release samples and below 7% for all other (low–gas release) samples.

Production of anhydrous ƒ-element fluorides through the ionothermal treatment of ƒ-element oxalates

The pivotal role of uranium and plutonium fluorides in the nuclear fuel cycle, particularly in the pyrochemical reduction process, is well recognized. Traditionally, the fluorination of uranium and plutonium materials relies on the use of highly toxic and corrosive gases (e.g., HF (g) , F 2(g) ). Herein, we present an alternative approach using the ionic liquid 1‑butyl‑3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim][PF 6 ] (l) ) and/or hexafluorophosphoric acid (HPF 6(aq) ) as fluorinating agents for the ƒ-element oxalates M$^{III}_{2}$(C 2 O 4 ) 3 ∙ 9H 2 O (s) M$^{III}_{2}$(C 2 O 4 ) 3 ∙ 9H 2 O (s) (M III = Ce, Pu) and M IV (C 2 O 4 ) 2 ∙ 6H 2 O (s) (M IV = Th, U). Our findings demonstrate that [Bmim][PF 6 ] (l) and HPF 6(aq) enable the ionothermal fluorination of ƒ-element oxalates, resulting in the formation of anhydrous CeF 3(s) , ThF 4(s) , and UF 4(s) within 2 hours at 200 °C. This method also facilitates the partial fluorination of plutonium(III) oxalate, yielding a mixture of anhydrous PuF 3(s) and an unidentified phase. Overall, the ionothermal treatment approach offers a safer and more efficient means of producing anhydrous ƒ-element fluorides than conventional methods involving hazardous gases. In addition, we describe the morphology of UF 4(s) materials as a function of production route and demonstrate the presence of morphological signatures that could be used during a nuclear forensic investigation.

A machine learning approach to quantify degradation of nuclear fuels and the effects of fission products

Nuclear fuel performance is critically dependent on understanding the evolution of fuel properties under operational conditions, a complex challenge driven by chemical changes and substantial radiation damage during fission. Traditionally, property evolution has been determined via empirical data collected following irradiation. However, these empirical correlations are limited in their applicability beyond the specific conditions in which they were obtained. This study explores a novel approach to address this challenge by applying materials informatics to develop a machine learning random forest (ML-RF) model that captures the effects of fission products on fuel compounds. The model predicts formation enthalpy (ΔH f ) by leveraging extensive quantum materials property data and correlating it with material descriptors such as composition, atomic and site features, and crystal lattice properties. This ML-RF model enables rapid interpolation across the compositional and structural spaces covered by the training data, thus supporting high-throughput screening and energetic ranking of candidate phases. The model demonstrates the ability to predict ΔH f with a mean absolute error (MAE) of approximately 0.1 to 0.2 eV/atom across a wide range of compounds, including key nuclear fuel systems (U-O, U-N, U-C, U-Si, and U-Mo). For example, it was used to assess shifts in stoichiometry for UO 2 (O/M) and UN (N/M) fuels, revealing their distinct tendencies in chemical potential variation and enabling preliminary convex hull analyses. Furthermore, the model provides insights into how individual fission products affect fuel properties. Results indicate that larger fission products (e.g., Nd, Pu, Ce) have a more pronounced impact on UO 2 , while lighter ones (e.g., Zr) strongly influence UN. Here, the model developed in this work can be used to support the Accelerated Fuel Qualification approach by facilitating preliminary evaluations prior to extensive materials modeling and experimentation. To this end, the trained model has been made available to the fuel community to support ongoing fuel development efforts.

3D pore structure reconstruction of fluff region in top of EBR-II irradiated fuel by X-ray micro-computed tomography

Metallic fuels comprised of U-Zr binary and U-Pu-Zr ternary alloys are a promising fuel candidate for sodium-cooled fast reactors and possess many advantages over ceramic fuels such as higher uranium density and improved thermal conductivity. Fluff is a highly porous structure forming at the top of metallic fuel slugs during irradiation and was extensively observed in past sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) experiments such as Idaho National Laboratory’s Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II). Previous investigations have shown that fluff is rich in fissile atoms and hence could have neutronics implications, but its formation mechanisms are not understood. In this work, two cube-shaped lift outs were taken from the fluff and bulk fuel regions of a high burnup U-19Pu-10Zr composition EBR-II fuel slug and characterized by micro computed tomography (Micro-CT) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). This was used to characterize differences in microscale porosity and composition between fluff and bulk fuel, and to support or oppose postulated fluff formation mechanisms. Surface EDS showed minimal differences between the elemental compositions of the fluff and fuel cubes. However, three-dimensional (3D) pore analysis from the tomography scans showed significant differences between the fluff and fuel cube pore size distributions at the microscale level. The high porosity and irregular pore distribution seen in macroscale fluff was also present within the micro-scale fluff cube, having a much higher porosity than the fuel cube which was concentrated in a few large pore networks. In conclusion, these results indicate support for a creep driven mechanism of fluff formation.

Radial burnup characteristics of spent fuel pellets by zirconium analysis

Resonance ionization mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for in-situ measurements of elemental ratios in micrometer-sized spent fuel samples. By measuring the concentration of the fission product Zr we provide a framework for determining fuel burnup while simultaneously considering the 239 Pu fission fraction. Here, the analyzed spent fuel samples were taken from different fuels and distances from the fuel pellets’ edge. Results show a burnup enhancement at the edge of a fuel pellet of 180–220% compared to the center of the pellet. By comparing the concentration of the anthropogenic 93 Zr to the naturally occurring Zr isotopes, any influence of non-fissiogenic Zr or disturbing neutron capture reactions can be ruled out. This established 93 Zr as a new tool to measure fuel burnup.

High energy X-ray characterization of the microstructure of PuGa alloy samples at macroscopic depths and non-ambient conditions

High energy (95 keV) X-rays were utilized to characterize the microstructure of eight PuGa alloy samples at room temperature and during cooling to ∼10 K. The samples had different Ga content (nominally 0-3.4 at.%), age, and history. A ninth sample, similarly characterized with neutron diffraction, was included to extend the Ga range to 7 at.%. The samples span the range from single phase α (monoclinic) to δ (face-centered cubic) PuGa, as well as a two-phase α′/δ sample. The crystallographic textures, phase fractions, lattice parameters and dislocation densities of each sample were evaluated through distinct analysis techniques. The textures of the samples were modest. In each case, the dislocation densities were relatively high, comparable to cold worked metals and metals exposed to similar radiation dose. At room temperature, the lattice parameters determined in the predominantly single-phase samples were larger than expected based on the nominal Ga concentration. The observed lattice thermal expansions of the single-phase δ samples to 10 K are self-consistent across the samples and consistent with previous measurements reported in the literature. Significantly larger thermal lattice strain is observed in the δ phase of the two-phase material due to mechanical constraint from the α′ phase, which has a three times larger thermal expansion and is much harder than the δ phase. In conclusion, the results demonstrate the unique value of high-energy X-rays for relatively routine microstructural characterization of Pu alloy samples.

Sintering effects on NpO 2 grain size and morphology: The role of precursor Np phase

Neptunium dioxide (NpO 2 ) is a key phase in nuclear material processing as a target material for the production of plutonium-238 ( 238 Pu) and has been historically synthesized via the calcination of a Np oxalate precursor. Alternative synthesis methods for NpO 2 are now more prevalent, necessitating their study and comparison with the more common oxalate route. The purpose of this work was to investigate the microstructural properties of NpO 2 synthesized from a nitrate-based Np precursor phase via the assessment of NpO 2 particle size and morphology as a function of calcination temperature and time. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to probe the primary grain size and morphology of NpO 2 after calcination at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1100 °C and hold times ranging from 1 to 10 h. Post-image analysis using ImageJ software enabled the quantification of mean particle diameter. This analysis indicated that particle diameter increases with both increasing calcination temperature and hold time. Primary particles were shown to be clumped in irregular patterns into the overall rough, blocky aggregates, but this macroscopic morphology was not affected by calcination time or temperature. Although trends in primary grain size of NpO 2 were consistent with available literature from other Np precursor phases, the macroscopic morphology of the NpO 2 aggregates was quite different than reported for other precursors. Through comparison with historical literature on Np oxalate, this work emphasizes the importance of Np precursor on the physical properties of NpO 2 .

Investigation of potential polyatomic interferences on uranium isotope ratio measurements for the LS-APGD-Orbitrap MS system

The determination of actinide (e.g., U and Pu) content and isotopics is of importance to the nuclear forensics and safeguards communities. However, in the analysis of environmental samples, such as those collected by the International Atomic Energy Agency, uranium measurements can be complicated by isobaric interferences from polyatomic variants of heavy elements (e.g., Pb). This leads to complex, time-consuming sample manipulations (i.e., separations) before determining isotope ratios. An alternative strategy to sample pretreatment is to use high-resolution mass spectrometric platforms during the analysis to fully resolve the uranium isotopes from potential polyatomic interferences, negating the need for prior chemical separation. The liquid sampling - atmospheric pressure glow discharge (LS-APGD) coupled with an Orbitrap mass spectrometer provides a high-resolution (>70,000 m/Δm at m/z 200) inorganic mass spectrometry platform. Further, as a demonstration of the power of this instrumental platform, and indeed, the high-resolution approach in general, uranium isotope ratios were determined in the presence of elemental impurities (e.g., Pb, Pt, Ta, W) commonly encountered with environmental sample swipe analysis, without any prior treatment. Even at elemental impurity concentrations of 1000–5000× relative to uranium, no interference was observed with the 235 U or 238 U signal. In addition, the 235 U/ 238 U isotope ratio for the samples with the concomitants present are within 2 standard deviations of the values obtained without their addition, indicating that these impurities do not impact the determined uranium isotope ratio. These findings represent a significant first step in leveraging the high resolution of the LS-APGD-Orbitrap-MS to overcome isobaric and molecular interferences instead of relying on chemical separations.

Actinides in complex reactive media: A combined ab initio molecular dynamics and machine learning analytics study of transuranic ions in molten salts

The predominant ionic chemistry and the similarity in ionic radius of actinides make it very difficult to structurally distinguish them in liquids. In this work, while ab initio molecular dynamics shows that the f-states clearly affects the electronic properties, their impact on structural properties is not obvious. For the series of trivalent actinides U 3+ , Pu 3+ , Cm 3+ , Cf 3+ , Fm 3+ in molten NaCl and FLiBe, actinide ligand bonds have a higher degree of covalency in NaCl (than in FLiBe), and a higher degree of ionicity in FLiBe. Furthermore, a machine learned classification model can distinguish atomic environments of chemically similar actinides, as long as atoms beyond the first solvation shells are considered. Our work shows that only two types of descriptors are necessary to account for all the fluctuations in heavy metal/molten salt mixtures: The first descriptor represents the electronic state of the heavy metal, while the second encompasses the local coordination environment.

IRDFF-II: A New Neutron Metrology Library

High quality nuclear data is the most fundamental underpinning for all neutron metrology applications. This paper describes the release of version II of the International Reactor Dosimetry and Fusion File (IRDFF-II) that contains a consistent set of nuclear data for fission and fusion neutron metrology applications up to 60 MeV neutron energy. The library is intended to support: a) applications in research reactors; b) safety and regulatory applications in the nuclear power generation in commercial fission reactors; and c) material damage studies in support of the research and development of advanced fusion concepts. The paper describes the contents of the library, documents the thorough verification process used in its preparation, and provides an extensive set of validation data gathered from a wide range of neutron benchmark fields. The new IRDFF-II library includes 119 metrology reactions, four cover material reactions to support self-shielding corrections, five metrology metrics used by the dosimetry community, and cumulative fission products yields for seven fission products in three different neutron energy regions. In support of characterizing the measurement of the residual nuclei from the dosimetry reactions and the fission product decay modes, the present document lists the recommended decay data, particle emission energies and probabilities for 68 activation products. It also includes neutron spectral characterization data for 29 neutron benchmark fields for the validation of the library contents. Additional six reference fields were assessed (four from plutonium critical assemblies, two measured fields for thermal-neutron induced fission on 233U and 239Pu targets) but not used for validation due to systematic discrepancies in C/E reaction rate values or lack of reaction-rate experimental data. Another ten analytical functions are included that can be useful for calculating average cross sections, average energy, thermal spectrum average cross sections and resonance integrals. The IRDFF-II library and comprehensive documentation is available online at www-nds.iaea.org/IRDFF/. Evaluated cross sections can be compared with experimental data and other evaluations at www-nds.iaea.org/exfor/endf.htm. The new library is expected to become the international reference in neutron metrology for multiple applications.
