Evaluation of multilayer silicon carbide composite cladding under loss of coolant accident conditions
… of which are important during a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). To improve the performance of SiC cladding, a multilayered architecture consisting of layers of monolithic SiC (mSiC) and SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composite (CMC) has been proposed. In this work, the mechanical performance of both the …

Geometrically-Accurate and Homogenized Fuel Region Models to Predict Cladding Temperatures within a Truck Cask under Normal and Fire Accident Conditions
… casks must be determined for both normal conditions of transport and hypothetical fire accident conditions to assure that it does not exceed certain limit conditions. In the current work a two-dimensional finite-element thermal model of a legal-weight truck cask is constructed that …

Safety of light water reactor fuel with silicon carbide cladding
… cladding - are assessed. Its behavior under accident conditions is examined with an integrated approach of experiments, modeling, and simulation. High temperature (1100°C~1500°C) steam oxidation experiments demonstrated that the oxidation of monolithic SiC is about three orders of magnitude …

Dynamic Analysis of Diesel-Generator Sets Used in Nuclear Power Plants.
… plants to supply power to pump motors during accident conditions. First, a mathematical model for each component in a diesel-generator set is developed. Individual models are next combined into one composite model from which the computer program is developed. Results of the program are then …

Conceptual Design of a Nuclear Microreactor Transportation Cask
… the normal condition tests and hypothetical accident condition tests, demonstrated using a sample microreactor core design with heat pipes. An adequate shutdown reactivity margin (k_{eff} < 0.95) can be maintained using the control drums and shutdown rods except if the heat pipes are broken …

Factors affecting probabilistic risk assessment of transportation of hazardous material by rail
… trains. Regulations concerning hypothetical accident conditions (drop, puncture, thermal, and immersion) are stricter for containers of radioactive material. A more integrated probabilistic risk assessment would likely strike a different balance between regulatory requirements for flammable …

Effect of helium, strontium and silver implanted into silicon carbide on the structural changes and migration of the implants
… at high temperatures mimicking the operating and accident conditions. Even though, FPs co-exist in the presence of helium (He), the role of He ions in the migration of different FPs in SiC has not been thoroughly investigated. He ions are known to form bubbles in SiC, which can greatly affect the …
