The High Flux Isotope Reactor at the Oak Ridge National Lab is in the research stage of converting its fuel from high-enriched uranium to low-enriched uranium.
In 2004 the Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI) was established by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to quickly identify, secure, remove
As computational power increases, so does the desire to use fluid-structure interaction (FSI) software to design complex systems and components such as fuel pla
This dissertation describes a fully-coupled (FC), finite-element (FE) based, algorithm for modeling and simulation of the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of i
Aluminum clad plate fuel is common to many high performance water cooled research reactors, including the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at ORNL. Fuel manufac
