Potential Impact of Interfacial Bonding Efficiency on High-Burnup Spent Nuclear Fuel Vibration Integrity during Normal Transportation

Conference Jiang, Hao; Wang, Jy-An; Wang, Hong

Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to investigate the impacts of interfacial bonding efficiency at pellet pellet and pellet clad interfaces on spent nuclear fuel (SNF) vibration integrity. The FEA simulation results were also validated and benchmarked with reverse bending fatigue test results on surrogate rods consisting of stainless steel (SS) tubes with alumina-pellet inserts. Bending moments (M) are applied to the FEA models to evaluate the system responses of the surrogate rods. From the induced curvature, , the flexural rigidity EI can be estimated as EI=M/ . The impacts of interfacial bonding efficiency on SNF vibration integrity include themore »« less

Reversible Bending Fatigue Test System for Investigating Vibration Integrity of Spent Nuclear Fuel during Transportation

Conference Wang, Jy-An; Wang, Hong; Bevard, Bruce; ...

Transportation packages for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) must meet safety requirements under normal and accident conditions as specified by federal regulations. During transportation, SNF experiences unique conditions and challenges to cladding integrity due to the vibrational and impact loading during road or rail shipment. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has been developing testing capabilities that can be used to improve the understanding of the impacts on SNF integrity due to vibration loading, especially for high burn-up SNF in normal transportation operation conditions. This information can be used to meet the nuclear industry and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission needs in themore »« less

Spent nuclear fuel dynamic performance under normal conditions of transport

Conference Wang, J.; Wang, H.; Jiang, H.; ...

The objective of this project is to evaluate the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) vibration integrity under normal condition of transport. The SNF fatigue strength data has been collected from various pressurized water reactors. The CIRFT (Cyclic Integrated Reversible-Bending Fatigue Tester) has been used to simulate transportation environments. CIRFT is an enabling hot-cell testing technology developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The CIRFT consists mainly of a U-frame testing setup and a real-time curvature measurement method. The three-component U-frame setup of the CIRFT has two rigid arms and linkages to a universal testing machine. The curvature of rod bending ismore »« less
