Optimization of Conductive Fins to Minimize UO<sub>2</sub> Fuel Temperature and Radial Temperature Gradient

To further the development of low-enriched uranium fuels, precedence has been placed on delivering the same amount of power while lowering the fuel temperature and radial temperature gradient. To address this, modeling efforts have resulted in a novel design featuring conductive fins of varying ther...
