A Review of Finite Element Method Models for Nuclear Graphite Applications
Graphite components serve as structural support and as a neutron moderator in multiple nuclear power stations and is also a prospective material in Generation IV reactor concepts. The environment (e.g. high temperature and intense radiation) within a graphite core changes the geometry, microstructur...

| description | Graphite components serve as structural support and as a neutron moderator in multiple nuclear power stations and is also a prospective material in Generation IV reactor concepts. The environment (e.g. high temperature and intense radiation) within a graphite core changes the geometry, microstructure and material properties of the graphite components, that could limit the lifetime (i.e. safe operation) of a reactor. Some of the assessments made for graphite reactor core components include Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations. These simulations are used to estimate the stress state and strain state and probability of failure of irradiated graphite components. FEM also forms part of the validation of measurements or as a complementary technique to experimental procedures in graphite research. A comprehensive overview of FEM methodologies is provided in this review, including: FEM software, basics steps to set up a FEM model, and analytical solutions used to validate simulations for this field of study. The objective of this paper is to inform researchers in the different available FEM techniques and tools used in the research of nuclear graphite. |
