Models¶
This section describes the physical and empirical models implemented in SCIANTIX. Each model represents a specific phenomenon relevant to nuclear fuel behaviour and is documented individually in the following sections.
- Burnup
- Chromium Solubility
- Densification
- Effective Burnup
- Gap Partial Pressure
- Gas Decay
- Gas Diffusion
- Gas Production
- Gas Release
- Grain-Boundary Micro-Cracking
- Grain Boundary Sweeping
- Grain Boundary Venting
- Grain Growth
- High-burnup Structure Formation
- High-burnup Structure Porosity
- Intergranular Bubble Behaviour
- Intragranular Bubble Behaviour
- Microstructure
- Stoichiometry Deviation
- UO₂ Thermochemistry
