Diffusion coefficients of helium in solid UO2+x at high temperature and various stoichiometric compositions are evaluated by using molecular dynamics simulations based on a partly-ionic model in conjunction with a polaron ¿Free Hopping Approximation¿ proposed earlier. The results are compared with existing experimental and simulation data. A strong dependence of the apparent diffusion activation
energy on stoichiometry is found and the mechanisms of He migration in non-stoichiometric solid UO2+x are discussed.
