Adhesion And Wear Resistance Of PVD Nitride-Based Coatings On Zircaloy Substrates

Product Number: ED22-17266-SG

The Fukushima Daiichi Accident in 2011, which was the result of the Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami, and prolonged station blackout, increased the focus on developing accident tolerant fuel cladding (ATFC), especially on the use of protective coatings. Coatings have been widely used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and nuclear to improve corrosion resistance, enhance hardness and physical properties, and reduce wear. In an accident scenario, a coating may aid in reducing the oxidation kinetics and hydrogen evolution rates. The present study investigates the benefits that physical vapour deposited nitride-based coatings may have for ATFC.

Application Of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) And Infrared Thermography Techniques To Evaluate Fuel Cladding Behavior During Accident Conditions

Product Number: ED22-18327-SG

Author: Samuel Bell, Ben Garrison, Nathan Capps, Ryan Sweet, Kenneth Kane

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Accident scenarios, such as a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), subject claddings to rapid thermal transients, internal loading, and a high temperature steam environment. Understanding cladding behavior in this dynamic setting allows for better assessment of safety concerns such as coolant flow blockage and fuel relocation and dispersal. Improvement in model predictability and multi-physics fuel performance codes such as BISON are at the forefront of cladding related research. Particularly, efforts aim at addressing model accuracy to support burnup extension and increases in fuel cycle lengths.
