Abstract
A method of manufacturing a nuclear fuel segment includes varying a parameter of a lattice structure of a first mathematically-based periodic solid to form a second mathematically-based periodic solid. The second mathematically-based periodic solid comprises a triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS). The varying includes varying periodicity, thickness, or bias of the first mathematically-based periodic solid. The second mathematically-based periodic solid is embodied in a gridded mesh. The gridded mesh is sectioned into a plurality of layers. An additive manufacturing process is used to deposit a fissionable fuel composition in creating a body having a structure with a shape corresponding to the second mathematically-based periodic solid. The plurality of layers are used in controlling the additive manufacturing process.
