The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) fuel performance code BISON is a finite element code used to simulate nuclear fuel during irradiation. It contains models for different types of fuel and cladding such as fundamental thermo-physical properties, creep, swelling, porosity, and mechanical interaction. The authors contribute to the code through the development of some of these models, such as newly formulated thermal conductivity, phase redistribution, and thermal expansion models. In addition, solver methods are contributed where appropriate to facilitate calculations. The code is controlled by INL through an export-controlled license similar to other DOE nuclear related codes.
