Steam Oxidation, Burst and Critical Heat Flux Testing of FeCrAl Cladding in the Severe Accident Test Station
- Oak Ridge National Lab. (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
Since August 2011, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has been evaluating the steam oxidation resistance of a wide range of materials to identify a potential accident tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding [1-14]. The primary goal of an ATF cladding is to enhance safety margins in light water reactors (LWR) during beyond design basis accident scenarios (such as the nuclear accident at Fukushima Daiichi in March 2011) without requiring changes to the reactor design or fuel enrichment, or significantly affecting reactor economics during normal operation.
