Line 15: == Areas of Study == The MMG focuses on problems within nuclear reactors related to its fuel and how heat is transferred inside the reactor. "Fuel degradation" refers to how uranium pellets and the rods they are encased in (several ~~of these~~rods bundled together is what makes a "fuel assembly") eventually wear out over time due to high heat and irradiation inside a reactor. <br /> It is also an important effort in better understanding and improving the abilities of computer modeling software that is used to predict this sort of degradation. The group states three main objectives, "The mission of the Multiphysics Methods Group is to support the INL goal to advance the U.S. nuclear energy endeavor by:<br /> *Furthering the state of computational nuclear engineering<br />
