About this award
This $640,000 cooperative agreement from the Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy through the Nuclear Energy Research, Development and Demonstration program (CFDA 81.121) supports nuclear energy safety analysis and fuel performance modeling at the University of Tennessee from October 2021 through September 2024. The University will perform safety analysis of high-burnup fuel for a Westinghouse 4-loop pressurized water reactor, encompassing normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences, and design-basis accidents. Researchers will utilize established and modern methodologies to model reactor physics, thermal-hydraulics, and plant system-level response to identify opportunities and gaps for high-burnup fuel and evaluate implications of near-term accident-tolerant fuel candidates compared to traditional UO2/zircaloy fuel. $100,000 of the award is allocated as a sub-award to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to support portions of the safety analysis and fuel performance modeling.
