Reaction Capsule Design for Interaction of Heavy Liquid Metal Coolant, Fuel Cladding, and Simulated JOG Phase at Accident Conditions
High temperature corrosion of fuel cladding material (15-15Ti) in high burn-up situations has been an important topic for molten metal-cooled Gen-IV reactors. The present study aims to investigate the simultaneous impact of liquid lead (coolant side) and cesium molybdate (fuel side) on the cladding...

| description | High temperature corrosion of fuel cladding material (15-15Ti) in high burn-up situations has been an important topic for molten metal-cooled Gen-IV reactors. The present study aims to investigate the simultaneous impact of liquid lead (coolant side) and cesium molybdate (fuel side) on the cladding tube material. A capsule was designed and built for experiments between 600 °C and 1000 °C. In order to simulate a cladding breach scenario, a notch design on the cladding tube was investigated pre- and postexposure. Material thinning by corrosion and leaching at temperatures ≥ 900 °C caused breaches at the notches after 168 h exposure. The temperature dependent cladding thinning phenomenon was used for kinetic interpretation. As the first of a two-part study, this paper will focus on the exposure capsule performance, including metallographic cross-section preparation and preliminary results on the interface chemistry. |
