Experimental studies on seismic behavior of PWR fuel assembly rows

  • 1. CEA, DMT, SEMT, EMSI, Saclay, Gif-sur-Yvette (France)

Description

To qualify fuel assembly seismic resistance and to promote the development of new spacer grid designs, FRAMATOME (fuel division) and CEA have launched a large scale experimental program which will lead to improved models for safety analyses. The tests performed on reduced scale fuel assemblies were devoted to analyzing the assembly behavior during seismic motion. The aim of this paper is to present the main results of tests performed on rows of 5 and 13 assemblies
