Prediction of fuel cladding strain during post-boiling transition operation

  • 1. Toshiba Corp., Kawasaki, Japan

Description

To obtain a basic understanding of the integrity of fuel cladding at elevated temperatures characteristic of operation beyond boiling transition in boiling water reactors, a new description of the transient deformation behavior for unirradiated Zircaloy-2 cladding was developed, using the Larson-Miller parameter (LMP) life-fraction approach. It is possible that the LMP life-fraction approach may give useful information to determine the criteria necessary to minimize fuel cladding damage during the post-boiling transition operation
