Advanced Hermetic Fuel Cladding Closure with Integrated Thermal-Chemical Mitigation for High-Temperature Micro-Reactors

This repository contains a complete, validated engineering blueprint and transient thermol model for sealing silicon carbide nuclear fuel cladding using Niobium end closure. The design solves thermal expansion mismatch ,Solid-state diffusion and weld-induced thermol shock for advanced high temperature SMRs and space mi...
