Materials Models and Simulations for Nuclear Fuels

AI Thread Summary
The MMSNF Workshops focus on advancing research and discussions related to modeling and simulations of nuclear fuels, emphasizing the integration of fission-product modeling for safety and performance. Presentations will cover multi-scale theoretical models and experimental results that inform these models. Each session will include discussions to enhance understanding of the themes presented. All materials will be compiled on a CD for participants. The upcoming MMSNF-5 Workshop is scheduled for June 1-2, 2006, in Nice, France.

Scope

The MMSNF Workshops aim at stimulating research and discussions on modelling and simulations of nuclear fuels and coupling the results with fuel performance codes. The aspect of fission-product modelling (not only important for fuel performance but also with respect to safety) is included in this. Brief presentations of multi-scale (first principles, atomistic, meso-scale, and continuum) theory-based models and simulations of material properties are encouraged. Experimental results that define requirements, guide or challenge the models are also welcome. The presentations are followed by discussions of each session’s theme. All presentations will be loaded on to a CD and distributed to participants.

Not attending but will certainly get my hands on the proceedings. Only need to hear the keyword "multi-scale" to :!) .
 
I won't be at this one either, but I hope to be involved down the road. I have to many other things going on at the moment. :biggrin:
 
Hello, I'm currently trying to compare theoretical results with an MCNP simulation. I'm using two discrete sets of data, intensity (probability) and linear attenuation coefficient, both functions of energy, to produce an attenuated energy spectrum after x-rays have passed through a thin layer of lead. I've been running through the calculations and I'm getting a higher average attenuated energy (~74 keV) than initial average energy (~33 keV). My guess is I'm doing something wrong somewhere...
