2019 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Theory, Modeling, and Simulation of Nuclear Chemical Processes II

This session seeks papers in the crosscutting areas of nuclear and chemical engineering as applied to the nuclear fuel cycle. Areas of general interest are: aqueous nuclear fuel reprocessing, pyroprocessing, auxiliary processes, emissions, nuclear and radiochemical materials facilities, conversion, molten salt fueled reactors, waste forms, repositories, nuclear fuel behavior, and fusion energy research. Developments in the levels of theory ranging from plant scale to continuum to atomistic used for non-equilibrium processes are encouraged to be submitted. Topics of particular interest are: a) research to address the multiscale modeling and simulation challenges, and b) examples of the nuclear chemical engineering field to benefit from modern advances in computer-aided simulations.
