Analysis of Thermal Conductivity Degradation in Irradiated UO2 Fuel Due to Porosity Formation at High Burnup

One of the factors that changes the UO2 fuel thermal conductivity is the generated porosity in the fuel due to increasing burnup. At high burnups, the structure known as rim region, is created. This is due to the Xe depletion process from the fuel matrix, porosity formation, and fuel grain recrystal...
