FIPD: Metallic Fuels Irradiation & Physics Database

FIPD is an organized collection of metallic fuel test pin data and documentation. The database includes pin operation conditions calculated using a collection of ANL analysis codes developed during the IFR program, including axial distributions for power, temperatures, fluences, burnup, and isotopic densities. The database also contains pin measured data from post-irradiation examination, including pin fission gas release and gas chemistry measurements, and axial distributions from profilometry, gamma scans, and neutron radiography. There is also an extensive collection of documents associated with different pins and experiments, including raw PIE data, design descriptions, safety analysis, and operational reports.


Recent Updates

Feb. 26, 2024
  • Added qualification state to FIPD data, and added indicators where appropriate to show when data is qualified.
Dec. 18, 2023
  • Regenerated all SE2P input files based on FIPD data to correct several identified issues likely caused by manual entry errors. Affects calculations of temperature, linear power, and cycle DPA. All impacted cases have been updated.
  • Updated SE2P code to output data at higher precision than was originally reported. All cases have been updated with higher precision results.
  • Added cases for the final three EBR-II runs that were previously excluded (168B, 169A, 170A). Cases add for X435A, X451A, X486A, X492B, X496, X501.
Oct. 9, 2023
  • Extended document metadata to include fabrication-related data similar to existing PIE-related data. Pin details provide a fabrication data matrix similar to the existing PIE data matrix. FIPD document library was reviewed and tagged with fabrication data as appropriate.
