Abstract
The focus of this study is about a new experimental approach for a separate effects study of the secondary hydriding phenomenon under LOCA conditions. Many nuclear institutes perform semi–integrals tests to study the cladding behaviour during a LOCA transient. Those tests combined several phenomena and performing a detailed analysis of the secondary hydriding phenomenon using these tests can be challenging. A dedicated experimental protocol aiming at simulating secondary hydriding has been set up. Separate effects tests (SETs) were then carried out using this protocol to study the effects of both oxidation duration and temperature, on the hydrogen absorption during the oxidation stage of the LOCA transient on M5Framatome1 cladding. The effects of gap size were also investigated. Metallographic analysis has been used to characterise the M5Framatome clad metallurgical transformation after the high–temperature (HT) oxidation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Nuclear Materials publishes high quality papers in materials research for nuclear applications, primarily fission reactors, fusion reactors, and similar environments including radiation areas of charged particle accelerators.
