A new method for solving the fission gas diffusion equations with time-varying diffusion coefficient and source term considering recrystallization of fuel grains

The fission gas swelling of nuclear fuels depends on the fission gas behavior in fuel grains, which will be accelerated by grain recrystallization occurred in some fuels. Under transient and accident conditions, the temperature and fission rate could vary greatly, which will affect the fission gas b...
