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 everyone, I am currently working on a burnup calculation for a fuel assembly with repeated geometric structures using MCNP6. I have defined two materials (Material 1 and Material 2) which are actually the same material but located in different positions. However, after running the calculation with the BURN card, I am encountering an issue where all burnup information(power fraction(Initial input is 1,but output file is 0), burnup, mass, etc.) for Material 2 is zero, while Material 1...
Hi everyone, I'm a complete beginner with MCNP and trying to learn how to perform burnup calculations. Right now, I'm feeling a bit lost and not sure where to start. I found the OECD-NEA Burnup Credit Calculational Criticality Benchmark (Phase I-B) and was wondering if anyone has worked through this specific benchmark using MCNP6? If so, would you be willing to share your MCNP input file for it? Seeing an actual working example would be incredibly helpful for my learning. I'd be really...
