Spent Fuel Behavior

Spent Fuel Behavior is the academic study of the physical, chemical, and radiological evolution of nuclear fuel following its discharge from a reactor, distinguishing it from other stages of the fuel cycle by focusing on post-irradiation phenomena such as decay heat, cladding degradation, and radionuclide migration.
