Abstract: A ceramic–ceramic (CERCER) fuel with minor actinide-enriched ceramic fuel particles dispersed in a MgO ceramic matrix is chosen as a promising composite target for accelerator-driven systems (ADS). Fission swelling is a complex irradiation-induced phenomenon that involves recrystallization, resolution, and hydrostatic pressure under extreme conditions of high temperature and significant fission flux. In this study, a multiscale computational framework was developed to integrate simulations of continuum-scale thermo-mechanical behavior in the CERCER composite with a grain-scale hydrostatic pressure-dependent fission gas swelling model. Hydrostatic pressure-dependent fission welling is taken into account in the stress update algorithms for U O 2 particles. Accordingly, we programmed the user subroutines to define the thermo-mechanical constitutive relations in the finite element simulations. The obtained results indicate that (1) the proposed method accurately predicts the swelling deformation at various burnup levels while taking into account hydrostatic pressure and (2) prior to recrystallization, the particle swelling is primarily influenced by temperature variation, whereas after recrystallization, the presence of hydrostatic pressure favorably suppresses the swelling deformation. This work effectively captures the swelling behavior influenced by hydrostatic pressure within the dispersed-type CERCER composite fuel in ADSs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
