摘要
The advanced Chung-Kassner criteria for the capability of fuel rods to withstand thermal shock during LOCA reflooding and to withstand post-quench fuel handling, as well as the complementary cladding embrittlement criteria of KAERI and KIT, are compared to the traditional LOCA safety criterion of 17% ECR oxidation. The advanced failure criteria were implemented in the mechanistic thermomechanical code SVECHA/QUENCH (S/Q) and successfully applied to predict fuel rod failure behaviour in postulated LOCA scenarios and high temperature (1400 ?) pre-oxidation and quenching tests performed with fresh and irradiated fuel rod simulators. The extension of the advanced failure criteria to coated Zr alloy claddings is discussed.
