Phase-field simulations of intragranular fission gas bubble evolution in UO2 under post-irradiation thermal annealing

Fission gas bubbles are one of the evolving microstructures that affect thermal mechanical properties, such as thermal conductivity, gas release, volume swelling, and cracking, in operating nuclear fuels. Therefore, fundamental understanding of gas bubble evolution kinetics is essential to predict t...

description Fission gas bubbles are one of the evolving microstructures that affect thermal mechanical properties, such as thermal conductivity, gas release, volume swelling, and cracking, in operating nuclear fuels. Therefore, fundamental understanding of gas bubble evolution kinetics is essential to predict the thermodynamic property and performance changes of fuels. In this work, a generic phase-field model was developed to describe the evolution kinetics of intragranular fission gas bubbles in UO2 fuels under post-irradiation thermal annealing conditions. Free energy functional and model parameters are evaluated from atomistic simulations and experiments. Critical nucleus size of gas bubbles and gas bubble evolution were simulated. A linear relationship between logarithmic bubble number density and logarithmic mean bubble diameter was predicted, which is in good agreement with experimental data.
