High Resolution Neutron Radiography and Tomography of Hydrided Zircaloy-4 Cladding Materials

Conference Smith, Tyler S ; Bilheux, Hassina Z ; Ray, Holly B ; ...

Neutron radiography for hydrogen analysis was performed with several Zircaloy-4 cladding samples with controlled hydrogen concentrations up to 1100 ppm. Hydrogen charging was performed in a process tube that was heated to facilitate hydrogen absorption by the metal. A correlation between the hydrogen concentration in the hydrided tubes and the neutron intensity was established, by which hydrogen content can be determined precisely in a small area (55 m x 55 m). Radiography analysis was also performed to evaluate the heating rate and its correlation with the hydrogen distribution through hydrided materials. In addition to radiography analysis, tomography experiments were performedmore »« less

Sensitivity analysis for characterizing the impact of HNGD model on the prediction of hydrogen redistribution in Zircaloy cladding using BISON code

Journal Article Seo, Seok Bin ; Duchnowski, Edward M. ; Motta, Arthur T. ; ... - Nuclear Engineering and Design

Hydrogen in zirconium cladding is able to precipitate into zirconium hydrides which impacts cladding integrity. The Hydride Nucleation-Growth-Dissolution (HNGD) model in the BISON code accounts for the precipitation and dissolution kinetics of hydride in Zircaloy material. This paper presents global sensitivity analyses of the HNGD model aiming to enhance our understanding of the hydride precipitation phenomena by quantifying the variance that key parameters have on the prediction of hydrogen behavior under various environmental conditions. Here, model predictions are compared to experimental data obtained under two different conditions: 1) with uniformly precharged specimens subjected to a linear thermal gradient, and 2)more »« less

Formation and characterization of hydride rim structures in Zircaloy-4 nuclear fuel cladding tubes

Journal Article Kamerman, David W. ; Bachhav, Mukesh ; Yao, Tiankai ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Zirconium alloy tubes used as nuclear fuel cladding are subject to oxidation and subsequent hydrogen pickup during their long service in commercial light water reactors. The hydrogen picked up in the cladding can precipitate as a brittle hydride rim feature on the cladding outer surface. Here, to better understand the effect of hydride rims on the fracture behavior of stress-relieved zirconium alloy cladding tubes, a procedure to produce these rim-like structures has been developed and is described herein. Extensive characterization of the ‘as hydrided’ tubes is performed. The hydrogen charging apparatus consists of a tube furnace with a quartz chambermore »« less
