Influence of grid-to-rod fit on fuel rod fretting
Periodica Polytechnica Mechanical Engineering, 2013 The fretting behavior of nuclear fuel assemblies is influenced by a number of parameters. One of these is the fit between the fuel rod and the spacer grid, which changes during the fuel residence time in the core. The influence of fit on fretting has been investigated by performing model tests on a typical fuel rod support configuration.

Experimental Investigation on Flow-Induced Vibration of Fuel Rods in Supercritical Water Loop
Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2014 The supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR) is one of the most promising Generation IV reactors. In order to make the fuel qualification test for SCWR, a research plan is proposed to test a small scale fuel assembly in a supercritical water loop.

Hydrogen‐Assisted Fracture of Iron‐Based Fe–Ni–Al Alloys
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Principal relations and fracture mechanisms of single‐phase and precipitate‐strengthened Fe–Ni–Al alloys subjected to prior electrochemical hydrogen charging are identified. The mechanisms of hydrogen effect on strength and microhardness are discussed, including hydrogen‐induced increase in microhardness and the role of hydrogen in fracture behavior ...
