Prediction of the nuclear fuel rod abrasion

Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2013
The paper is focused on calculation of the friction forces work in the contact of nuclear fuel rods with fuel assembly spacer grid cells. This friction work is deciding factor for the prediction of the fuel rod coating abrasion.

Cosmic ray muon computed tomography of spent nuclear fuel in dry storage casks

, 2016
Radiography with cosmic ray muon scattering has proven to be a successful method of imaging nuclear material through heavy shielding. Of particular interest is monitoring dry storage casks for diversion of plutonium contained in spent reactor fuel. Using
