Structural analysis of the SNAP-8 developmental reactor fuel element cladding

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6315913· OSTI ID:6315913

Primary, secondary, and thermal stresses were calculated and evaluated for the SNAP-8 developmental reactor fuel element cladding. The effects of fabrication and assembly stresses, as well as test and operational stresses were included in the analysis. With the assumption that fuel-swelling-induced stresses are nil, the analytical results indicate that the cladding assembly is structurally adequate for the proposed operation.
