2024:17 Atomistic studies on the adsorption and desorption of radionuclides on fuel crud and system surfaces in Light Water Reactors
SSM perspective Background Radiation safety is of particular concern during power plant maintenance. Radionuclides produced by the neutron bombardment in the core during operation may accumulate on system surfaces such as the filter system or piping and contribute to the radiation field. Some ions that are prone to neutron capture often become trapped in the deposits on the fuel cladding...

2024:18 Modelling Environmental Sensitization of Chromia Forming Nickel Base Alloys Toward Stress Corrosion Cracking in Light Water Reactors by Atomistic Simulations
SSM perspective Background Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in load bearing structures has been a longstanding issue both in pressurized and boiling water reactors. The specific environment in nuclear power applications consists of high temperatures and pressures that together with the effects of the radiation field on the coolant composition provide tough conditions for the materials used in...
