A model for waterside oxidation of zircaloy fuel cladding in pressurized water reactors

Creator:

Almarshad, Abdullah I. A.

Abstract:

A model has been developed to predict the long-term oxidation rate of Zircaloy-4 for ex-reactor (autoclave) and in-reactor (PWR) environments and operating conditions. A computer program has been written to solve the oxygen diffusion equation by employing a fully implicit finite difference method for a one dimensional cylindrical geometry. The...
