Investigation of irradiation damage and heat deposition: a comparative analysis for HEU-to-LEU conversion in HFIR
The planned conversion of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory from highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel requires detailed evaluation of experiment-relevant parameters to ensure continued performance for materials testing and isotope production. This study presents the first comprehensive assessment of displaceme…
