Radionuclide Release from TRISO Fuel Particles
Ongoing research at McMaster University.
TRISO fuel particles are designed to hold fission products inside their coating layers. In this project we are building an open, reduced-order model of how radionuclides are released from TRISO particles and move through the surrounding fuel matrix. The particle and matrix models are coupled, so the release from each particle and the transport through the matrix affect each other. I develop the matrix side of the model in PorePy.
