Description

A study on thermo-mechanical behavior of fuel rods for a Super-Critical Water cooled Reactor (SCWR) was carried out with consideration of transient condition. For abnormal control rod withdrawal during rated power operation, it was shown by calculation that cladding effective stress was kept in elastic condition of the cladding material. It is concluded that the cladding keeps its mechanical integrity even in transient condition. (authors)
