Coupled Modeling and Simulation of Phase Transformation in Zircaloy-4 Fuel Cladding Under Loss-of-Coolant Accident Conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2021
Under loss-of-coolant conditions, the temperature on fuel cladding will increase rapidly (up to 1000–1500 K), which will not only cause a dramatic oxidation reaction of Zircaloy-4 and an increase in hydrogen concentration but also cause an allotropic ...

Analysis of thermal hydraulic behavior of KONVOI PWR during a design extension condition [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2021
In nuclear power plants the design extension conditions are more complex and severe than those postulated as design basis accidents, therefore, they must be taken into account in the safety analyses.

Minimizing the Negative Effects of Coolant Channels on the Torsional and Torsional-Axial Stiffness of Drills

open access: yesMetals, 2021
Coolant channels allow internal coolant delivery to the cutting region and significantly improve drilling, but these channels also reduce the torsional and torsional-axial stiffness of the drills.
