Abstract

Fission products in nuclear fuels exhibit a significant variation in solubility and stability. To understand better the reasons for this variation, the Mott-Littleton simulation technique has been used to calculate solution energies of the fission products Br, Kr, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Te, I, Xe, Cs, Ba, La and Ce. Nonstoichiometry and variable charge state are important components of the model.
