Title: Evaluation of transient fuel pin cladding failure criteria for application to inherently safe LMFBR designs

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/708188· OSTI ID:708188

Purpose of report is to evaluate the methods for determining time-temperature-stress limits for cladding failure under accident conditions for inherently safe LMFBR designs. The range of expected thermal-mechanical cladding loading conditions is outlined for generic accident events, and application of existing mechanistic and empirical cladding failure models to these conditions is evaluated. The study is restricted to reference oxide fuel pins with austenitic stainless steel cladding.
