Abstract
► The porosity impact on the UO2 matrix thermomechanical properties was investigated. ► Atomistic simulation techniques were used in this study. ► The UO2 thermal expansion coefficient is modified due to the pore surface effects. ► The elastic moduli at 0 K and at finite temperature decrease linearly with porosity.
