Stress analysis and probabilistic assessment of multi-layer SiC-based accident tolerant nuclear fuel cladding
Joshua Stone,Robert W. Schleicher,Christian P. Deck,George M. Jacobsen,H.E. Khalifa,Christina Back +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new model was developed to calculate stresses and failure probabilities for multi-layer cladding consisting of SiC-based materials in reactor operating conditions, and the results showed that stresses in SiCbased cladding are dominated by temperature-dependent irradiation-induced swelling, with the largest stresses occurring during the cold shutdown conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fuel performance of chromium-coated zirconium alloy and silicon carbide accident tolerant fuel claddings
TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of two different chromium-coated cladding concepts was investigated, one of which is zirconium-alloy based and the other is composite-SiC based.

Flash Method of Determining Thermal Diffusivity, Heat Capacity, and Thermal Conductivity
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-intensity short-duration light pulse is absorbed in the front surface of a thermally insulated specimen, and the resulting temperature history of the rear surface is measured by a thermocouple and recorded with an oscilloscope and camera.
Journal ArticleDOI
Handbook of SiC properties for fuel performance modeling
TL;DR: In this paper, a compilation of non-irradiated and irradiated properties of SiC are provided and reviewed and analyzed in terms of application to TRISO fuels, specifically in the high-temperature irradiation regime.

High temperature oxidation of fuel cladding candidate materials in steam–hydrogen environments
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of a range of commercial and model alloys, conventional austenitic steels do not have sufficient oxidation resistance with only ∼18Cr-10Ni, and higher alloyed type 310 stainless steel is protective but Ni is not a desirable alloy addition for this application.
