The Thermodynamics of Advanced Fuels - International Database (TAF-ID) Project, managed by the OECD-NEA, utilizes the CALPHAD method to create a comprehensive thermodynamic database aimed at modeling the behavior of advanced nuclear fuels. The database facilitates predictions of phase diagrams and properties essential for fuel performance, particularly in Generation II, III, and IV reactors. TAF-ID covers fuels, fission products, and cladding materials, and supports analyses of fuel behavior in both normal and extreme conditions. Ongoing project phases include expanding data on accident-tolerant fuels, benchmarking calculations, and providing a limited-access public version to enhance nuclear fuel research and safety.
