Tolerant fuel for VVER reactors
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020 Abstract The main factor of destruction of fuel rods in accidents with loss of coolant is associated with the vapor-zirconium reaction occurring between the fuel rod shell and the coolant (water). Improving the reliability of fuel cells can be obtained by modifying or replacing the fuel shell, materials that do not interact with the ...
