An improved structural mechanics model for the FRAPCON nuclear fuel performance code
… of Pellet Cladding Mechanical Interaction (PCMI) for the FRAPCON nuclear fuel performance code, a new model, the FRAPCON Radial-Axial Soft Pellet (FRASP) model, was developed. This new model uses 1.5D structural mechanics to represent both the fuel pellet and cladding along with their …

Fuel performance modeling of high burnup mixed oxide fuel for hard spectrum LWRs
… swelling, accelerated cladding oxidation, and PCMI at fissile-blanket interfaces. Even if the RBWR-TB2 has to operate under such demanding conditions with a small margin to fuel melting, a steady-state fuel performance analysis still shows that this reactor can operate safely with an acceptable …

An assessment of silicon carbide as a cladding material for light water reactors
… as essential for control of fuel temperature and PCMI. SiC cladding performance may be limited unless cladding/fuel conductivity or gap conductance is improved.
