摘要

Thorium-based fuel cycles can improve fuel sustainability within the nuclear power industry. The Canadian supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR) concept uses this path to achieve the sustainability requirement of the Gen-IV Forum. The study of thorium dioxide/thoria ThO _( 2 ) -based fuel irradiation behavior is significantly less advanced than that of uranium dioxide (UO _( 2 ) ) fuel, although ThO _( 2 ) possesses superior thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, higher melting temperature, and oxidation resistance that may improve both fuel performance and safety. The fuel and sheath modeling tool (FAST), a fuel performance model for UO _( 2 ) fuel, was developed at the Royal Military College of Canada (RMCC). FAST capability has been extended to include thoria (ThO _( 2 ) ), thorium uranium dioxide (Th,U)O _( 2 ) , and thorium plutonium dioxide (Th,Pu)O _( 2 ) as fuel pellet materials, to aid in designing and performance assessment of Th-based fuels, including SCWR (Th,Pu)O _( 2 ) fuel. The development and integration of ThO _( 2 ) and (Th,U)O _( 2 ) models into the existing FAST model led to the multipellet material FAST (MPM-FAST). Model development was performed in collaboration between RMCC and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL). This paper presents an outline of the ThO _( 2 ) and (Th,U)O _( 2 ) MPM-FAST model, a comparison between modeling results with postirradiation examination (PIE) data from a test conducted at CNL, and an account of the knowledge gap between our ability to model ThO _( 2 ) and (Th,U)O _( 2 ) fuel compared to UO _( 2 ) . Results are encouraging when compared to PIE data.
