  1. Cr and rare-earth grey phases form in doped fuel models
    Synchrotron spectroscopy reveals chromium and lanthanide speciation in Cr-doped uranium dioxide fuels, showing perovskite secondary phases remain structurally stable under radiation exposure.
  2. Structural choices strongly affect CFETR tritium breeding performance
    Neutronics modeling of CFETR HCCB blanket demonstrates structural design optimization yields substantial tritium breeding ratio gains; material composition changes show limited benefit.
