NSSR experiment with 50 MWd/kgU PWR fuel under an RIA condition

  • 1. Japan Atomic Energy Research Inst., Tokai (Japan). Dept. of Reactor Safety Research

Description

Results obtained in the NSRR power burst experiments with irradiated PWR fuel rods with fuel burnup up to 50 MWd/kgU are described and discussed in this paper. Data concerning test method, test fuel rod, pulse irradiation, transient records during the pulse and post irradiation examination are described, and interpretations and discussions on fission gas release and fuel pellet fragmentation are presented. During the pulse-irradiation experiment with 50 MWd/kgU PWR fuel rod, the fuel rod failed at considerably low energy deposition level, and large amount of fission gas release and fragmentation of fuel pellets were observed. (author). 6 refs, 11 figs, 5 tabs
