Finite-Element Simulation of Residual Stresses During the Processing of Lumped Burnable Absorber Fuel
UO2–Gd2O3 fuel is mostly used as a burnable absorber fuel in the form of a homogenous mixture of Gd2O3 and UO2. More effective reactivity control can be achieved by lumping Gd2O3 within the UO2 because this enhances the spatial self-shielding factor of the burnable absorber fuel. The fabrication of...
