The IAEA Fuel and Material Database
The IAEA Fuel and Material database is a web-based publicly available database on nuclear fuel performance experiments and advance material data to enhance the capacity of interested Member States in code development and validation, as well as in developing innovative nuclear fuel technologies.
The IAEA Fuel database includes well-qualified data that illustrates specific aspects of fuel performance, which are of particular interest for fuel modelers, such as: data on fuel temperatures, fission gas release (FGR), fuel swelling, clad deformation (e.g. creep-down, ridging) and mechanical interactions. In addition to direct in-pile measurement, PIE information is included on clad diameters, oxide thickness, hydrogen content, fuel grain size, porosity, Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) measurements on cesium, xenon, other fission products and actinides. The IAEA Fuel database includes a collection of experimental data on power reactor fuel performance for water-cooled and fast neutron reactors.
The IAEA Material database covers thermodynamic, electro-chemical, phase-diagram, and physical properties (e.g., database on physico-chemical properties of selected minor actinide compounds and alloys).
