Non-instrumented capsule design of HANARO irradiation test for the high burn-up large grain UO2 pellets

  • 1. KAERI, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

Non-instrumented capsule was designed to irradiate the large grain UO2 pellet developed for the high burn-up LWR fuel in the HANARO in-pile capsule. UO2 pelletes will be irradiated up to the burn-up higher than 70 MWD/kgU in HANARO. To irradiate the UO2 pellets up to the burn-up 70 MWD/kgU, need the time about 60 months and ensure the integrity of non-instrumented capsule for 30 months until replace the new capsule. In addition, to satisfy the safety criteria of HANARO such as prevention of ONB(Onset of Nucleate Boiling), fuel melting and wear damage of the capsule during the long term irradiation, design of the non-instrumented capsule was optimized
