Effects of waterlogged fuel rod rupture on adjacent fuel rods and channel box under RIA conditions. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nuclear Science and Technology, 1987
This paper describes the results of in-pile experiments and analyses to study the influence of waterlogged fuel rod rupture to the adjacent fuel rods and channel box under reactivity initiated accident (RIA) conditions. A single waterlogged fuel rod surrounded by intact fuel rods m a flow shroud was irradiated by a large neutron pulse in the Nuclear ...

Defected fuel rods identification in TRIGA Reactors: The experience at the ENEA Casaccia TRIGA RC-1 reactor [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2023
Experience in running TRIGA reactors all around the world has shown that fuel cladding failures can occur. Fission products, especially in gaseous physical form, can exit the defected fuel rods being dispersed within the water primary coolant.

Experimental Approaches for Manufacturing of Simulated Cladding and Simulated Fuel Rod for Mechanical Decladder

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2020
We are developing a practical-scale mechanical decladder that can slit nuclear spent fuel rod-cuts (hulls + pellets) on the order of several tens of kgf of heavy metal/batch to supply UO2 pellets to a voloxidation process.

An Improved Method for PWR Fuel Failure Detection Using Cascade-forward Neural Network With Decision Tree

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2022
When a fuel rod is damaged, determining the degree of fuel failure makes sense. The operators can decide whether to continue operating the reactor or shut it down based on the severity of the fuel failure.
