Progress in using performance models: The prediction of cladding failure
Description
The fuel performance code SLEUTH-SEER is unique in that it predicts not only temperature and strain but also the conditions of stress, strain and (now) time-dependent crack-extension in clad over pellet cracks. Here some of its applications to LWR and SGHWR fuel are described. It is proving a good means of predicting temperature and strain. In the case of pellet-clad interaction failures in SGHW it seems that the clad is fracturing by stress-corrosion at a stress closely bracketed by the code predictions. 8 refs
