Power ramp performance of texture controlled Zircaloy-4 cladding

  • 1. Mitsubishi Atomic Power Industries, Inc., Tokyo (Japan)

Description

Effect of texture on out-of-pile Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) resistance in Zircaloy fuel cladding tube and Pellet-Clad Interaction (PCI) property of fuel rod using texture controlled cladding tube under power ramp conditions are described. The cladding tube with radial texture, which means that c-axis of hcp crystal of Zr is highly concentrated in radial direction of tube, showed excellent performance in out-of-pile SCC tests and power ramp test.
