Reactors covered include thermal and fast neutron systems, LWRs, HTRs and Generation IV systems. This expertise is underpinned by the use of the ENIGMA code for modelling the thermo-mechanical behaviour of fuel.

Services include:

  • Nuclear physics modelling
  • Fuel materials properties modelling
  • Fuel micro-structual change assessments
  • Fission product gas release modelling

We also provide support during the licensing process or shadow licensing.
