Numerical simulation of the effects of localized cladding oxidation on LWR fuel rod design limits using a SLICE-DO model of the FALCON code
A methodology for evaluation of mechanical and thermal effects of localized non-axisymmetric oxidation in zircaloy claddings on LWR fuel reliability is proposed. To this end, the basic capabilities of the FALCON fuel behaviour code are used. Examples of methodology application to adjustment of selec...
