  • Fuel-cladding mechanical interaction in simulated sphere pac fuel

    Creator:
    Vincent, Andrew M.
    Abstract:
    A study has been made to investigate the fuel-cladding mechanical interaction (FCMI) in sphere pac fuels. An FCMI simulation has been constructed using the JVG Apparatus. This model has been used to investigate the mechanical interaction between a sphere pac bed and a cladding wall in terms of the cladding...

  • 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...
