Simulated Environmental Tests for Selected Advanced Technology Fuel Cladding Solutions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current development on advanced technology fuel (ATF) claddings is aiming at improved high temperature integrity of new candidate materials designed on existing zirconium cladding materials. To assess their performance in ...
Oxidation Parameters of Oxide Dispersion Strengthened Steels in Supercritical Water
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The kinetic parameters of oxidation of two oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys, PM2000 and MA956, in supercritical water (SCW) are evaluated using an updated model that assumes that the growth of the outer layer is ...
Miniature Autoclave and Double Bellows Loading Device for Material Testing in Future Reactor Concept Conditions—Case Supercritical Water
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The presented work consists of a test setup study of a new pneumatic material testing device based on double bellows (DBs) loading device and with miniature autoclaves enabling applications at temperature and pressure up ...
European Project “Supercritical Water Reactor–Fuel Qualification Testâ€: Overview, Results, Lessons Learned, and Future Outlook
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The supercritical water reactor (SCWR) is one of the six reactor concepts being investigated under the framework of the Generation IV International Forum (GIF). One of the major challenges in the development of a SCWR is ...
European Project “Supercritical Water Reactor Fuel Qualification Testâ€: Summary of General Corrosion Tests
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The main target of the EUROATOM FP7 project “Fuel Qualification Test for SCWR†is to make significant progress toward the design, analysis, and licensing of a fuel assembly cooled with supercritical water in a research ...
