Charge Optimized Many Body (COMB) potentials for simulation of nuclear fuel and clad
Abstract
The Charge Optimized Many Body (COMB) potential formalism enables the molecular dynamics simulation of complex materials structures in which multiple types of bonding (metallic, covalent, ionic and secondary bonding) coexist. Here we briefly review the COMB formalism and illustrate its capabilities to address critical issues in the area of nuclear fuel. In particular, we In Section 3, we look at U, UO2 and the process of oxidation of U. In Section 4, we look at the mechaincal behavior of Zr, representing LWR clad, and explore the effects of oxidation and hydridation on the mechanical response. In Section 5, we describe the capabilities of COMB simulations of corrosion. Since there has been relatveily little work done in this area, we also describe some work performed on non-nuclear materials, which illustrate the capabilities. Section 6 briefly describes some of the known limitations of the COMB approach.
