Effect of grain size on gas bubble evolution in nuclear fuel:Phase-field investigations

扫码查看
Numerous irradiation-induced gas bubbles are created in the nuclear fuel during irradiation,leading to the change of microstructure and the degradation of mechanical and thermal properties.The grain size of fuel is one of the important factors affecting bubble evolution.In current study,we first predict the thermodynamic behaviors of point defects as well as the interplay between vacancy and gas atom in both UO2 and U3Si2 according to ab initio approach.Then,we establish the irradiation-induced bubble phase-field model to investigate the formation and evolution of intra-and inter-granular gas bubbles.The effects of fission rate and temperature on the evolutions of bubble morphologies in UO2 and U3Si2 have been revealed.Especially,a comparison of porosities under different grain sizes is examined and analyzed.To understand the thermal conductivity as functions of grain size and porosity,the heat transfer capability of U3Si2 is evaluated.
