Coated particle fuel concepts date back some 60 years, and have evolved significantly from
the relatively primitive pyrocarbon-coated kernels envisioned by the first pioneers …

The silicon carbide (SiC) layer in tristructural isotropic (TRISO) fuel particles serves as a
barrier to prevent the escape of fission products produced and not retained in the fuel kernel …

Under a severe neutron irradiation environment, helium behaviour has become a significant
concern due to helium-induced degradation of mechanical properties in SiC structural …

Ion irradiations are a valuable research tool for exploring radiation effects in materials.
However, it is well recognized that the implanted ions can artificially modify the radiation …

Biofouling of materials has caused significant loss to marine engineering and protective
coatings have served as a solution. In this work, the TiSiN/Ag multilayer coatings …

Atmospheric pressure, ambient temperature plasma jets have become a promising
candidate for material processing in parallel with developments in additive manufacturing …

Monte Carlo (MC) techniques are among the most used techniques for modeling materials
at the atomic scale, with those of molecular dynamics. The name MC comes from the fact …

High-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) have garnered considerable interest due to
their superior efficiency and inherent safety. This study systematically investigates the …

While oxide fuels have received the bulk of historic interest as nuclear power reactor fuels, a
range of other uranium compounds and deployment architectures have also been …

Silicon carbide (SiC) fiber reinforced SiC ceramic matrix composites (CMC) represent an
alternative cladding material for accident tolerant fuel light water reactor (LWR) applications …
