Summary
Fuel pins are a key component in the fast breeder reactor (FBR), and the economical performance of the reactor depends upon the behavior and life of fuel pin assemblies. One of the limiting phenomena in fuel pin and assembly performance is deformation. A thermomechanical performance code ¿̐ưSIFAIL¿̐ư is being used at the Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory (HEDL) to predict fuel cladding deformation. SIFAIL utilizes empirical descriptions of cladding strain as a function of temperature, stress, and neutron fluence to predict fuel pin profiles. The equations are derived primarily from in-reactor tests on tubes pressurized with an inert gas and irradiated under conditions of constant temperature and stress. These equations were modified in SIFAIL to account for the variations in temperature and stress with time which occur in fuel pins. It is the purpose of these investigations to develop analytical methods which can be used to design fuel pins with optimum long-life performance.
