Abstract

Modeling of tristructural isotropic (TRISO)-coated particle fuel is being refined in the fuel performance code BISON. New developments include the implementation of an updated set of material properties, TRISO failure mechanisms, fission product diffusion parameters, and the design of a Monte Carlo scheme that allows BISON to calculate the probability of fuel failure within a population of TRISO particles and the subsequent fractional release of key fission products.
