Zircaloy oxidation and cladding deformation in PWR-specific CORA experiments

Abstract

Out-of-pile bundle experiments (zircaloy 4) are performed in the CORA facility to investigate the behavior of PWR fuel elements during severe fuel damage (SFD) accidents. Within the international cooperation the most significant phenomena such as cladding deformation, oxidation (especially the zirconium/steam reaction), melt formation, melt release, and relocation which were found in all tests have been analyzed. (orig./MM). [Deutsch] Am Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe werden in der Buendeltestanlage CORA Out-of-pile Experimente zur Untersuchung des Verhaltens von DWR-Brennelementen unter Bedingungen, wie sie bei schweren Kernschaeden (Severe fuel damage, SFD) auftreten koennen, durchgefuehrt. Im Rahmen der internationalen Kooperation wurde der Einfluss der wichtigsten Phaenomene wie z.B. der Huellrohrdeformation, der Huellrohroxidation (Zirkon-Wasser-Reaktion), der Schmelzebildung, -freisetzung und -verlagerung auf den weiteren Schadensablauf im Buendel untersucht. (orig./MM).
