Abstract
Multiscale computational approach is used to evaluate microscopic parameters for description of nitride nuclear fuel. The results of atomistic simulation and thermodynamic modeling allow to estimate diffusivity and concentrations of point defects at various stoichiometric ratios of UN1+x. The diffusivities of Xe atom were calculated in various equilibrium states. In addition, we obtained the dependence of partial nitrogen pressure on x and temperature. The results of atomistic simulation were used for modeling of nuclear fuel behavior with use of mechanistic fuel codes.
