Synthesizing nuclear power plant fouling with fractal characteristics enables an in-depth study of concerned nuclear safety issues [PDF]
Summary: Fouling deposit on nuclear fuel cladding causes wick boiling and boron hideout, resulting in localized corrosion and power shift with great potential security and economic risks.

BOTANI: High-fidelity multiphysics model for boron chemistry in CRUD deposits
We develop a new high-fidelity multiphysics model to simulate boron chemistry in the porous Chalk River Unidentified Deposit (CRUD) deposits. Heat transfer, capillary flow, solute transport, and chemical reactions are fully coupled.

A Combined Method for Predicting the Boron Deposited Mass and the CIPS Risk
CIPS is a shift in the axial power towards the bottom half of the core, also known as axial offset anomaly (AOA), which results from the deposited of corrosion products during an operation. The main reason of CIPS is the solute particles especially boron

Two-phase Boiling Heat and Mass Transfer Characteristic within PWR CRUD Deposition
The porous chalk river unidentified deposit (CRUD) depositions not only increase the thermal resistance and lead to the deterioration of heat transfer, but also change the power distribution as a result of boron hideout. Therefore, accurate prediction of

Development of boron tracking and boron hideout (CRUD) model based on subchannel approach
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2018Abstract In order to keep the reactor criticality, chemical shim is universally used for the control of pressurized water reactors (PWRs). In other words, it is vital to maintain the boric acid concentration uniformly distribution in the primary cycle.
