There are a number of important challenges facing the nuclear industry including the extension of the fuel cycle of traditional UO2 fuel and the adoption of non-oxide ceramic fuel forms in both light water reactors (LWRs) and advanced reactors. Atomic scale processes govern thermophysical properties and the evolution of defects within nuclear fuel, and their impact on key fuel performance metrics, such as mar -gin to melting and fission gas release. Here a review is presented of atomic scale simulation effort s to provide physics-based materials models in support of fuel performance modeling. (C)& nbsp;2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
