Description
The development of a model that would allow the fuel designer to predict the occurrence of fretting could materially reduce the amount of development testing of a new fuel design. To achieve this, we are working in several areas: to identify and measure the phenomena that excite fuel to vibrate, and to study their relation to reactor design features; to predict the vibratory response of a fuel assembly as a function of its design and environment, and; to study the relationship between vibration and fretting to determine when vibration results in fretting.
