Nuclear Materials Databases

Mephista-19, owned by IRSN, is a thermodynamic and properties database that can be applied to successfully study fundamental scientific issues and efficiently investigate practical engineering problems in new generation nuclear fuels. It effectively allows you to calculate the thermochemical equilibrium states in nuclear fuels and to utilize the calculation results for enhancing the design and engineering of modern and safety-prioritized nuclear reactors, improving the predictions and treatments of operational accidents and assisting the assessment and processing of nuclear fuel and waste managements.

The database contains critically-assessed and internally-consistent thermodynamic data for the entire field from metal to oxide domains within a 14-element framework + H-Ar (only for the gaseous phase, as well as for hydrides and hydrous oxides/silicates).

PROPERTIES: Gibbs Energy
ELEMENTS: Ar, Ba, C, Ce, Cs, Fe, H, La, Mo, O, Pu, Ru, Si, Sr, U, Zr
ASSESSED PHASES: 446
OWNER: IRSN

Mephista-19 can be used with our entire suite of products: Thermo-Calc, the Add-on Modules, and all available SDKs.

NUCLEA-19, owned by IRSN, is a thermodynamic and properties database that can be applied to study fundamental scientific issues and efficiently investigate practical engineering problems in both the In-Vessel and Ex-Vessel nuclear reactor circumstances. It effectively enables you to calculate the thermochemical equilibrium states at any step of an eventually-severe accident, and to utilize the calculation results for improving the predictions and treatments of thermo-hydraulic or other accidents, enhancing the design and engineering of modern and safety-prioritized nuclear reactors and assisting in the assessment and processing of nuclear fuel and waste managements.

The database contains critically-assessed and internally-consistent thermodynamic data for the entire field from metal to oxide domains within an 18-element framework + H-Ar (only for the gaseous phase, as well as for hydrides and hydrous oxides/silicates).

PROPERTIES: Gibbs Energy
ELEMENTS: Ag, Al, Ar, B, Ba, C, Ca, Cr, Fe, H, In, La, Mg, Ni, O, Ru, Si, Sr, U, Zr
ASSESSED PHASES: 784

NUMT2 is a thermodynamic and properties database that is suitable for calculations in nuclear materials and is for about 600 condensed and gas phase substances, including pure radio nuclides.

This database can be applied to a wide range of nuclear related applications, which can be modeled adequately, or to a first approximation, using pure substances. However, it can also be coupled with other pure substance databases such as SSUB, and/or solutions databases such as SSOL and TCFE, to increase the range of applications that can be studied.

PROPERTIES: Gibbs Energy
ELEMENTS: Ag, Al, Am, B, Ba, Bi, C, Ca, Cd, Ce, Cl, Co, Cr, Cs, Eu, F, Fe, H, I, In, Kr, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Nd, Ni, O, Pd, Pr, Pu, Rh, Ru, Sb, Si, Sn, Sr, Tc, Te, U, Xe, Zr
ASSESSED PHASES: 248
OWNER: Thermo-Calc Software

NUMT2 can be used with our entire suite of products: Thermo-Calc, the Add-on Modules, and all available SDKs.
