Molecular dynamics simulation of radiation damaged nuclear fuels. Part of the project was dedicated to the development of specialized molecular modeling software. With the application of the developed software investigation of different types of radiation damage on a thermal conductivity of uranium dioxide was conducted. Investigation of the melting point of uranium dioxide nanoparticles.
