The behavior of fuels and materials in the high radiation environment of a nuclear reactor is extremely complex and represents the limiting factor in plant safety, performance, longevity, and ultimately economics. Several U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy programs have important research and development activities focusing on the in-pile behavior of nuclear fuels and materials extending from advanced fuels development, advanced modeling and simulation, and advanced reactor development.
