Plastic Strain in Thin Fuel Element Cladding Due to UOo$sub 2$ Thermal Expansion

Description: Results are presented of short time, high heat flux capsule irradiations to determine the magnitude of plastic strain induced in the capsule cladding due to UO/sub 2/ thermal expansion. Annular geometry capsules were employed with both internal and external cladding and forced convection cooling of both surfaces to simulate the reference superheat fuel element design. Both 304 stainless steel and 3003 aluminum claddings of various thickness were used to determine the influence of cladding stren… more

Studies ot UO2-Cladding Mechanical Interactions (Short Time Irradiations in the GETR Trail Cable Facility)

Description: This report is a supplement to GEAP-3759, Plastic Strain In Thin Fuel Element Cladding Due to UO2 Thermal Expansion. Cladding growth results are reported for repetitively irradiated, UO2 pellet-filled, annular capsules: for two UO2 powder-filled, annular capsules: and for six solid cylindrical pellet-filled capsules. Dimensional changes of the capsules irradiated during the entire program were analyzed, and the relationship of these results to the over-all fuel development program were evaluate… more
