  1. 1. Qualification of a Physical Model of Cladding Creep During Dry Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Robin Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Dry Storage; Thermal Creep; Zircaloy-4; Pellet-Cladding Interaction; Torrt Förvar; Termisk Krypning; Zircaloy-4; Kuts-Kapsling Interaktion;

    Abstract : In dry interim storage of spent nuclear fuel, thermal creep is one of the major threats to the fuel cladding integrity due to the constant decay heat generation from the fission products and minor actinides in the fuel, and the increase in fuel rod internal pressure which is present after burnup. Plenty of research has been done on either empty cladding tubes irradiated in a research reactor, or on spent fuel that is defueled prior to the examination. READ MORE
