Modeling high burnup structure in oxide fuels for application to fuel performance codes. Part II: Porosity evolution

We propose a model describing the high burnup structure inter-granular porosity evolution under irradi-ation. The evolution of the porosity collecting the gas diffusing from the grains is modeled by exploiting a second-order Fokker-Planck expansion of the cluster-dynamics master equations governing the prob-lem, considering nucleation of pores, gas absorption due to the diffusional flow from the grains, size-dependent re-solution of gas from pores due to interaction with fission fragments, vacancy absorption, and pore coalescence. Model predictions on xenon local retention, matrix fuel swelling, and porosity evo-lution are compared to experimental data and to models available in fuel performance codes.(c) 2022 The Authors.
