Under the guidance of the Nuclear Science Committee (NSC) and under the mandate of the Working Party on Materials Science Issues in Nuclear Fuels and Structural Materials (WPFM), the Expert Group on Fuel Materials (EGFM) has been established in 2023 and its work covers materials science aspects of nuclear fuels. It advances multi-scale modelling and simulation together with experimental activities.
The EGFM addresses all fuel types, both fuel materials currently deployed in the nuclear fleet and envisaged for future fission reactors, as well as advanced fuels, such as oxide, metallic, nitride, carbide, silicide, composite fuels, and relevant cladding issues.
The EGFM aims to
