Description

Some investigation on LWR ramp tests in high pressure loop at HBWR was carried out with PWR version FEMAXI-III code. The verification of FEMAXI-III PWR version was conducted by means of irradiation data of LWR ramp test at HBWR. Calculated results agreed well with the inpile data on creepdown, fuel diameter change and ridge height, except for those on fission gas release. Therefore, the validity of the application of FEMAXI-III PWR version to analyse the LWR ramp test in high pressure loop at HBWR was confirmed. The effects of pellet shape and burnup on fuel behavior during ramp test were also clarified. The effects of irradiation conditions at different type of reactors were investigated by means of FEMAXI-III PWR version. It is revealed that ramp tests at commercial PWR conditions and HBWR conditions result in higher fuel center temperature and higher cladding hoop stress than that in the high pressure loop at HBWR.
