Modeling the thermal effects of fabricated fuel-to-cladding gap in fast reactor fuel

Creator:

Baker, Ronald Blair

Abstract:

This report presents a refined method for the calculation of fuel centerline temperatures and the linear-heat-rating-to-incipient melting, ' Q'[subscript m], of mixed-oxide fuel typical of that to be used in the Fast Flux Test Facility and in Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors. Of primary concern are the effects of the...

A model for the mechanical behavior of irradiated mixed carbide sphere pac fuel pins

Creator:

George, Thomas L.

Abstract:

A model is developed that allows the prediction of the stress-strain distribution in a mixed carbide sphere pac fuel pin during irradiation. The model is coupled with a previously developed model for the thermal behavior of the pin. The one-dimensional (radial at various axial locations) solution is for quasi-steady pin...
