Hot Cell Examination of Irradiation Hardening in Spacer Grid

  • 1. Korea Nuclear Fuel Co. Ltd., Taejon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

Although zirconium alloys have been used in the nuclear material, better mechanical properties of the Zirconium alloy are required enough to keep the integrity in high burn-up. There have been many investigations into the zirconium alloy of cladding tube in the point of corrosion resistance and PCI (Pellet Cladding Interaction). However, the other researches about the spacer grid are relatively insufficient even though the regions are damaged in high burn up. In this study, spacer grid samples detached from fuel assembly during intermediate burnup (21GWd/tU, 44GWd/tU) were analyzed to observe the mechanical property change and fracture behavior of the spacer grid
