Description

KAERI has been developed the chrome-alloy coated cladding and metallic microcell UO2 pellet as the near term technology of the Accident Tolerant Fuel. The mechanical behaviour of metallic microcell UO2 pellet was estimated with finite element analysis tool. For the multi-layered cladding, the FRACAS-CT module was implemented into the fuel performance code, FRAPCON. And the fuel performance under the normal operation condition with the enhanced material properties of the metallic microcell pellet and the chrome-alloy coated cladding was estimated. (author)
