Description

The development of accident tolerant fuels (ATF) is aimed at avoiding the situation that occurred at Fukushima in 2011 where overheated Zr-based alloy cladding reacted with water to produce explosive H2 gas. While the objective of DOE's ATF program is to identify fuel that is more tolerant in severe accident conditions, the fuel must first be able to function adequately under normal operating conditions. The purpose of these experiments is to quickly explore the corrosion behavior of several ATF candidate alloys under normal LWR operating conditions consisting of high temperature, relevant water chemistry and irradiation.
