The article focuses on the development of a new class of fuels called ultrahigh burnup (UHBU) fuels, by the researchers of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. UHBU is being developed to enhance the burnup rate at future reactors. To analyse the performance of UHBU, scientists are working on devising computational techniques.
