Abstract: In this work, we developed a simple and easily reproducible method to measure the interconnectivity of fission gas pore phases in irradiated nuclear fuels. The formation, growth and interconnection of fission gas pores contribute to the release of fission gases from the fuel meat to the fuel cladding resulting in swelling, delamination, pillowing and […]

Congratulations to our labmates and collaborators: Charlyne A. Smith, Yiming Cui, Brandon D. Miler, Dennis D. Keiser, Alina Zare and Assel Aitkaliyeva!  Their paper, “New approach for measuring interconnectivity of fission gas pores in nuclear fuels from 2D micrographs” was recently accepted to the Journal of Materials Science.   In their paper, the authors introduce a […]
