Abstract: Abstract A rational design strategy combining theory and experiment is highly desirable for the development of U-Zr based fuels that are resistant to lanthanide-induced fuel-cladding chemical interaction (FCCI). We performed rapid computational screening of FCCI-mitigating… read more here.
