NNL provides customers with a comprehensive fuel design support service based on a wide range of experience and supported by world recognised and approved methods and systems.

Fuel Performance

NNL addresses the design and performance of nuclear fuel, including the development of tools and methods for fuel performance modelling. 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.
