Abstract Scope |
Accurate prediction and understanding of fission gas swelling (FGS) are essential for fuel qualification of U-Mo monolithic fuel. The Dispersion Analysis Research Tool (DART), a rate-theory-based code developed at Argonne National Laboratory, provides a way to calculate FGS in U-Mo. However, DART utilizes assumed values for some lower-length-scale fuel parameters of U-Mo that are still unknown. Estimation of these parameter distributions is crucial for FGS prediction. This study performs inverse uncertainty quantification to obtain posterior probability distributions (PPDs) of DART parameters. Initially, surrogate models based on neural networks, gaussian processes, and other machine learning methods are built using the available data from DART. Bayesian inference methods, such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo, are then applied to find the parameter PPDs. Finally, the surrogate models are used to compute the push-forward of the parameter PPDs. This work concomitantly establishes a way to perform sensitivity analysis and optimization of DART parameters. |
