Modeling Axial Relocation of Fragmented Fuel During Loss of Coolant Conditions by Using ABAQUS

Copyright © 2020 ASME. In a light-water reactor, during normal operating condition, the UO2 nuclear fuel pellets undergo fragmentation primarily due to presence of thermal stresses, fission gas development and pellet-clad mechanical interaction. Under Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) conditions, a po...
