A Simple Computational Model for the Prediction of Fuel Pin Failure During A Transient-Overpower Accident
Abstract
dc:descriptionA fuel pin failure model is developed and incorporated into a fast-running computer program. The model is designed to predict irradiated fuel-pin cladding rupture during a hypothetical transient-overpower (TOP) accident in a liquid metal fast breeder reactor. The principal failure mechanisms of fuel-cladding differential thermal expansion and fission-gas pressurization are accounted for.
