Improved irradiation resistance of accident-tolerant high-strength FeCrAl alloys with heterogeneous structures

In this work, post–neutron irradiation examination is performed on advanced accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl) alloys with ~10–13at. % Cr, ~10–12 at. % Al, ~1 at. % Mo, and minor alloying elements including Y irradiated to a damage level of 7 displacements per atom (dpa) at irradiation temperatures of 267–282 °C. A compositional dependency of the Cr and Al content is observed on the ratio of sessile and glissile dislocation loops, where the density of a$\langle$100$\rangle$ type loops is somewhat higher than the a/2$\langle$111$\rangle$ type loops. The α' precipitate number density is inversely correlated to the starting Cr concentration of the alloys of interest. The irradiation to a higher dose of 7 dpa results in a higher density of dislocation loops and α' precipitates for the same alloys at a lower irradiation dose, such as 1.8 dpa. In this work, the effect of α' precipitates on the dislocation loop density is discussed, and the presence of α' appears to inhibit the nucleation of loops. Compared with first-generation FeCrAl alloys, these advanced alloys with heterogeneous structure exhibit a lower Cr concentration in α' precipitation at the same dose level; they act as weaker obstacles deviating from the primary hardening contribution from the mature α'. Hence, the overall irradiation-induced hardening decreases; our alloys show improved radiation resistance because of their stronger sink strengths. The results presented in this paper could provide insights for the design and optimization of ATF cladding materials for future fission and space applications.

Recent progresses on thermal–hydraulics evaluations of accident tolerant fuel cladding materials

Thermal–hydraulics (T-H) experiments have been on the progress to evaluate boiling heat transfer characteristics of accident tolerant fuel (ATF) candidates for further supporting the core-loading of these advanced ATF concepts in light water reactors (LWRs). Here this study covers recent experimental studies of ATF claddings and summarizes some significant results. Recent T-H experimental results of ATF cladding candidates demonstrated that the material thermal–physical properties have pronounced effects on critical heat flux (CHF). Such effects have not been well resolved in the current physics-governing models. These effects of cladding materials on CHF could be potentially rationalized by the material-conjugated boiling heat transfer, where the material-dominated heat conduction competes with the flow boiling-dominated heat convection. As progressively increasing the mass flux and/or liquid subcooling, CHF differences between different materials gradually decrease, which is in agreement with the recent T-H experimental results of ATF claddings. This is because the dominance of heat convection over heat conduction is primarily improved by liquid subcooling and/or mass flow rate. It is noteworthy that surface oxidization of claddings may have unknown impacts on T-H performances because the formation of oxide layers on cladding surfaces introduces variations of material thermal–physical properties and then changes the surface morphological features, which results in some difficulties in evaluating the thermal safety margins of ATF claddings.

Enhanced flow boiling heat transfer on chromium coated zircaloy-4 using cold spray technique for accident tolerant fuel (ATF) materials

Flow boiling heat transfer tests were conducted to evaluate the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) and Heat Transfer Coefficient (HTC) of conventional and accident tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding materials, i.e., bare Zircaloy-4 (Zr4), and Zircaloy-4 coated with Chromium using physical vapor deposition (PVD) (Zr4-Cr-PVD) and cold spray process (Zr4-Cr-CS), respectively. The tests were performed on a single heater rod with a uniform heat flux profile, at the atmospheric pressure, inlet temperature (24 °C) and mass flow rate (750 kg/m 2 s). HTC’s were increased by 5.2% and 3.3% on Zr4-Cr-CS compared to bare Zr4 and Zr4-Cr-PVD. Improved HTCwas attributed to the increased void fraction and high roughness (Ra = 532 nm) of the Zr4-Cr-CS. In detail, the micro-cavities, which act as bubble seeds, were entirely distributed on the Zr4-Cr-CS, and these micro-cavities generated smaller and faster bubbles, thus the void fraction increased by 10.9% compared to bare Zr4. HTC is improved by these smaller and faster bubbles which can remove heat from the heater rod surface more efficiently. To identify the exact location of CHF, the surface temperature profile was measured using advanced fiber-optic sensors which have high temporal/spatial resolution (distance between point to point: ~2.5 mm, frequency ~100 Hz). CHF occurred at 80–95% along the heated length and showed an 11.6% reduction on Zr4-Cr-CS compared to bare Zr4. We hypothesize the CHF reduction was caused by the lower wettability of the Zr4-Cr-CS which reduces the liquid supply to the surface, and vigorous bubble accumulation owing to high void fraction near the outlet, which results in early formation of the vapor film. During the post-CHF quenching phase, the rougher Zr4-Cr-CS showed larger cooling rates compared to the bare Zr4 and Zr4-Cr-PVD, preventing of oxidation by chromium layer. In conclusion, we demonstrate that the high roughness on the Zr4-Cr-CS increased the number of micro-cavities on the surface, resulting in 5.2% increase in HTC and improvement in the quenching heat transfer performance whereas CHF was 11.6% reduced compared to bare Zr4. Overall statistically there is little effect in the coating with regards to CHF and slight improvement in HTC.

Ultra-low-level measurements of airborne fission products from the Fukushima Daiichi reactor accident using high volume collection systems at Savannah River National Laboratory

For this study, ultra-low-level measurements of radionuclides in air have been conducted at the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) to determine the atmospheric concentration of fission products released following the Fukushima Daiichi reactor accident on March 11, 2011. Air filter samples were acquired from two high-volume collection systems (a traditional filter-based system and an electrostatic precipitator-based system) to monitor airborne radionuclide concentrations in the period covering from 2 weeks to 3 years after the disaster. The world-wide spread of low-level concentrations of airborne fission products from the Fukushima event provided a unique opportunity to demonstrate SRNL's electrostatic particle collection technology and other improvements in environmental monitoring developed at the Savannah River Site (SRS). Detecting and analyzing the release allowed a comprehensive test of SRS systems for monitoring environmental radioactivity. Gamma-ray-emitting fission products ( 131,132 I, 134,136,137 Cs, and 129,132 Te) and cosmogenic isotopes ( 7 Be and 22 Na) in air were detected and quantified by high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy at concentrations as low as 0.07 μBq per standard cubic meter (SCM) (50 mBq total 137 Cs), while plutonium content was quantified by thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) at concentrations as low as 6.5 × 10 –21 g/SCM (3.0 fg 239+240 Pu). Isotope concentrations measured at SRNL from gamma-ray spectroscopy were compared to independent measurements from Chapel Hill, NC, located approximately 370 km (230 mi) NE of SRNL. Meteorological modeling was also used to predict radionuclide transport from the location of release to both measurement locations.

Grand potential sintering simulations of doped UO 2 accident-tolerant fuel concepts

Chromium-doped UO is a widely-studied near-term deployable accident-tolerant fuel concept because it results in a dense, large-grain structure that increases the fuel resistance to densification, swelling, and fission gas release. A new charged-interstitial mechanism was recently proposed to describe the behavior of dopants like chromium in sintered UO 2 . Based on that mechanism, manganese was suggested as an even stronger dopant than chromium. In the current work we use mesoscale sintering simulations in an effort to validate the new mechanism. We compare the relative behavior of Cr-doped and undoped UO 2 against experimental data in the literature. We also make predictions of the relative behavior of Mn-doped UO 2 . Simulations are done using the phase field-based grand potential sintering model. Dopants have two effects on sintered UO 2 . They marginally increase the densification rate and greatly increase the average grain size. Both of these effects are individually tested in small-scale simulations. Then large 3D sintering simulations are used to test the combined behavior of both effects. The results for the densification rate simulations are consistent with experiments for Cr-doped fuels. However, we note the grain growth rates are lower than what is found in the literature for Cr-doped fuels.

High temperature mechanical properties of fluorite crystal structured materials (CeO 2 , ThO 2 , and UO 2 ) and advanced accident tolerant fuels (U 3 Si 2 , UN, and UB 2 )

The mechanical interaction between the fuel and cladding that occurs during operation of a nuclear reactor is important to understand as it can lead to cladding failures and release of radioactive material into the coolant. Additionally, in order to develop better models of the pellet-clad mechanical interactions, the mechanical properties of the fuel at relevant operating temperatures, like the elastic moduli, are needed for current and advanced accident tolerant fuels (ATFs). In this work, elevated temperature nanoindentation and resonant ultrasound spectroscopy were used to measure the moduli and hardness of several fluorite materials (CeO 2 , ThO 2 , UO 2 ) and several ATF candidates (ATF) (U 3 Si 2 , UN, UB 2 ). In addition, a comparison of the two techniques was performed in this study to independently validate the mechanical properties.

Assessment of CASL VERA for BWR analysis and application to accident tolerant SiC/SiC channel box

Application of the Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA) to BWR analysis is assessed in this paper by comparing results to those calculated using other widely-used modeling tools, namely the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s PARCS/PATHS and the Serpent Monte Carlo particle transport code. Additionally, VERA is used to calculate 3-D temperature and fast neutron flux distributions in silicon carbide (SiC) fiber-reinforced, SiC matrix composite (SiC/SiC) BWR channel boxes, which are being studied as an Accident Tolerant Fuel core structural material concept. We found that the code-to-code comparisons were favorable, and the SiC/SiC channel box evaluation demonstrates the many advanced modeling features VERA provides while also highlighting the non-uniformity in fast neutron flux distributions that can play a role in potential SiC/SiC channel box deformation. Traditional BWR analysis tools do not have the calculation fidelity necessary for coupled assessment of flux and temperature gradients in a SiC/SiC channel box. VERA is a state-of-the-art modeling environment that was developed to increase the safety and economic competitiveness of nuclear power through improved modeling accuracy. While VERA has already been deployed in the nuclear industry for PWR applications, the current study is a vital initial step in the extensive development, validation, and verification that VERA must go through to be useful for BWR applications.

Pool boiling critical heat flux studies of accident tolerant fuel cladding materials

Pool boiling experiments have been performed at atmospheric pressure on potential accident tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding materials (Zirlo®, Cr coated Zirlo®, FeCrAl coated Zirlo®, and monolithic SiC) to evaluate the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) points. Corrosion resistant coatings of Cr and FeCrAl alloy were deposited on flat Zirlo® samples using cold spray technology. The as-prepared samples after uniform surface polishing were subjected to autoclave tests at 360 °C water and 18.6 MPa for 360 h to simulate prototypic corrosion of the ATF cladding materials in LWR normal operation. Surface characteristics potentially influencing CHF such as surface morphology, roughness, static contact angle, and surface chemistry were characterized using a suite of characterization methods including scanning electron microscopy, 3D optical profilometry, optical contact angle measurements, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Thermo-physical properties of the samples such as density, thermal conductivity, and heat capacity were measured by differential scanning calorimetry and laser flash thermal diffusivity measurement. FeCrAl coatings showed CHF values comparable to bare Zirlo® samples, while slightly lower CHF values were observed for Cr coated samples and bulk SiC flats (produced by chemical vapor deposition, CVD). As-deposited Cr coatings showed 67% higher CHF than the as-polished Cr coatings due to its higher surface roughness level. The autoclave testing for the prepared samples generally increased the CHF except for the surface polished Cr coatings. Similar CHF values of bare Zirlo®, FeCrAl coating, and CVD SiC samples were observed after autoclave test but there were negligible change CHF of Cr coatings. XPS studies indicated that the formation or deposition of a few monolayers of hydrophobic carbonaceous species on surface can affect CHF values. The trends in CHF data are discussed in terms of evolution of the surface characteristics of the ATF materials.

Resumption of water capsule reactivity-initiated accident testing at TREAT

A series of integral reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) commissioning experiments were completed in a new static water capsule in the Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT), marking the first such tests in the U.S. in more than 40 years. The test campaign included a verification test followed by five tests in the Static Environment Rodlet Transient Test Apparatus (SERTTA) capsule. The capsule initial conditions varied from room temperature and pressure up to 200°C and 2.5 MPa, with energy depositions varying between ~500–1100 J/gUO 2 . The series of tests allowed for a number of instrumentation qualifications and demonstrations, including cladding thermometry, rodlet plenum pressure, cladding elongation, and an electro-impedance boiling detector. Post transient examinations such as gamma emission spectroscopy, profilometry, and microscopy were performed to document the end state of the fuel rods. Furthermore, the results from the experiments show that the fuel rodlets behaved very similar to historical tests under similar energy depositions. This paper documents the design of the capsule and highlights some results from the commissioning tests and post-transient examination.

Autoclave grid-to-rod fretting wear evaluation of a candidate cladding coating for accident-tolerant fuel

In pressurized water reactors (PWRs), water flow induced vibrations cause contact and rubbing between the fuel rods and the supporting grid, a phenomenon known as Grid-to-Rod-Fretting (GTRF). GTRF may produce progressive wear damage on the fuel claddings leading to subsequent leakage of radioactive fission products. Various accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) concepts are being developed for higher resistance to the high temperature steam and one approach is to apply a cladding coating. Here, fretting wear behavior of a candidate Cr-coating was investigated using a unique bench-scale autoclave testing rig mimicking the environment in an industrial full-assembly PWR simulator. The contact was under a realistically low load (~0.5 N) lubricated by deionized water at a temperature of 204 °C under a pressure of 20-23 bars. Results demonstrated that the Cr-coating significantly improved the cladding's wear resistance when tested against a commercial ZIRLO grid with or without pre-oxidization. In addition, the Cr-coating also reduced wear on the non-oxidized ZIRLO grid but slightly increased the wear on the pre-oxidized grid.

Grid-to-rod fretting wear study of SiC/SiC composite accident-tolerant fuel claddings using an autoclave fretting bench test

Grid-to-rod-fretting (GTRF) in pressurized water reactors (PWRs) is known to cause wear and surface damage on the fuel claddings, potentially leading to radioactive leakage. One of the accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) concepts is to use advanced cladding materials that could withstand higher temperatures. Here, we investigated the wear behavior of candidate silicon carbide (SiC)-based composite claddings with different levels of surface finish in fretting against a commercial ZIRLO alloy grid using a unique bench-scale autoclave GTRF rig. The experiments mimicked the environment in an industrial full-assembly PWR simulator. Fretting tests were conducted with a realistic load (~0.5 N) in deionized water under a pressure of 20–23 bar at 204 °C for 100 h. While the SiC/SiC composite claddings showed significantly higher wear resistance than the commercial ZIRLO alloy cladding as expected, the smoother versions experienced surprisingly higher wear than the much softer counterface, ZIRLO grid. The wear mechanism of the SiC/SiC cladding was attributed to the SiC wear debris that was trapped at the fretting interface causing both 3-body and 2-body (embedded into the grid surface) abrasion of the cladding. Rougher SiC/SiC claddings had less material loss but caused more wear on the ZIRLO grid. Finally, pre-oxidized ZIRLO grid showed better compatibility with the SiC/SiC cladding to protect both the cladding and grid as a result of reduced wear debris trapping.

Loss-of-Coolant Accident Analysis of a High-Burnup Pressurized Water Reactor Core Design Using Gadolinia-Doped UO 2

High-burnup and extended enrichment fuels are of interest for extending the cycle lengths of pressurized water reactors from 18 to 24 months. Changes to the fuel design and core loading scheme have potentially significant safety implications due to power distribution effects, reduced thermal conductivity, and/or increased plenum pressures due to additional burnable poison loadings. Additionally, higher burnups result in increased material degradation and risk of fuel fragmentation, relocation, and dispersal (FFRD). A representative 24-month core design using gadolinia-doped UO 2 was analyzed for performance under large-break (LB) loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) conditions using PARCS, RELAP5-3D, and BISON. Furthermore, all considered acceptance criteria were met, with no cases exceeding the 1477 K maximum cladding temperature or the post-quench ductility oxidation limit of 17% equivalent cladding reacted. Full-core FFRD susceptibility was estimated to be approximately 455 kg, though high uncertainties exist with current approaches for computing susceptibility. Undoped fuel rods are more likely to be limiting due to higher linear heat rates. Relatively high burnup and linear heat rate rods located in second batch assemblies are of greatest safety significance during LB LOCA for this high-burnup core design.

PWR Core Analysis for Cycle Extension and Uprates with LEU+ Accident Tolerant Fuel and 80 GWd/Tonne Burnup Limit

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has recently drafted a rule enabling fuel burnup increase in light water reactors up to 80 GWd/t. In conjunction with use of fuel enrichment up to 10%, and accident tolerant fuel (ATF), this is anticipated to facilitate 24-month cycles in PWRs, along with further power uprates. In this paper, PWR core analysis is performed for 20% increased PWR power output along with cycle extension up to 24 months, in combination with use of chromia-doped fuel and chromium-coated clad, considered to be the most near-term ATF concepts. In combination, these lead to challenging conditions with a core average discharge burnup of up to ~74 GWd/t, challenging even the 80 GWd/t burnup limit. Analysis is performed using the 2-step method with POLARIS (within SCALE) used for the lattice calculations and PARCS for the core calculations. Core designs are first baselined for current operating conditions (LEU, 62 GWd/t discharge burnup limit) and then derived that meet cycle constraints on power distribution and the updated lead pin discharge burnup limit while maintaining at least two batches of fuel in the core. Gadolina loadings in fuel pins of up to 8% are used, with enrichment zoning both within the core and, to a limited extent, within assemblies. Here, doped fuel with coated cladding can utilize the same core designs as the reference UOX cores, exhibiting slightly lower burnup due to higher fuel density, which also offsets the slight reactivity penalty from the doping and coating. For the analysis performed here, doped fuel enabled a core with 24-month cycle and 20% uprate to stay within the 80 GWd/t lead pin discharge burnup limit.

The B737 MAX 8 Accidents as Operational Experiences With Automation Transparency

Automation transparency has come into prominence in the human-machine systems literature, with researchers offering definitions, models, design frameworks, and empirical findings. However, missing from the literature are reflections on the actual operational experiences of human crews interacting with intelligent automation conceived from multiple transparency perspectives. The Boeing 737 MAX 8 accidents present a tragic case of a catastrophic failure of automation transparency. We explore this case with an emphasis on extracting design and regulatory insights for the nuclear power and other safety-critical domains.

Health Physics Research Reactor Criticality Accident Alarm System Benchmark Overview

From the countless critical experiments performed in the world during the past century, high-quality integral benchmarks experiments have been collected and gathered into the International Handbook of Evaluated Criticality Safety Benchmark Experiments (ICSBEP Handbook), managed by the International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP) Working Group. This information preservation and dissemination effort is crucial for reactor licensing as well as criticality and radiation transport modeling validation. This summary reports on the status of a tentative benchmark addition to the ICSBEP Handbook. The proposed benchmark arises from legacy operation data of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Health Physics Research Reactor (HPRR). The HPRR was a small, unmoderated, unshielded fast burst reactor that was used for research in health physics and radiobiology as well as teaching and training. As part of a comprehensive investigation of the available HPRR operation data and characteristics, different possibilities for use of the valuable results were studied. A critical experiment benchmark evaluation was performed, analyzing data coming from sub-critical and critical operation of the HPRR during operator training, steady-state irradiation of samples and before critical bursts. The results of the evaluation do not satisfy for the ICSBEP standards as the benchmark relative standard uncertainty is of about 4% for k eff , and the relative difference between sample calculations and expected k eff results is of about 1.5%. Due to those unsatisfactory results, it was decided not to pursue critical experiments evaluation of the HPRR presently and to focus instead on shielding type data for the creation of a criticality accident alarm system (CAAS) and shielding category benchmark, which is currently very scarce in the ICSBEP handbook—especially concerning critical, pulsed assembly, or reactor operation data. Several dosimetry and shielding experiments from HPRR burst operation were evaluated, with different benchmark metrics as sulfur fluence, Element 57 dose, or neutron fluence at different distances and under different shield materials conditions. An evaluation focusing on the Element 57 neutron dose as a benchmark metric was submitted to the ICSBEP Technical Review Group (TRG) meeting in October 2021, and the inclusion of the evaluation in the ICSBEP Handbook was deferred. The main change proposed by the international experiment evaluation experts is to use the neutron fluence measured by Bonner spheres as a benchmark metric. This represents a quantity closer to that actually measured by the experimentalists of the HPRR compared to the Element 57 dose, which adds another step of data transformation, thus potentially adding uncertainty to the benchmark. The evaluation has been updated and will be submitted to the 2022 ICSBEP TRG meeting for inclusion in the 2023 edition of the ICSBEP Handbook. The evaluation is performed using the KENO and MAVRIC combination from the SCALE 6.2.4 code suite which was previously used in similar CAAS benchmarks to allow for the use of variance reduction techniques.

Risk-Informed Safety Analysis for Accident Tolerant Fuels

Accident Tolerant Fuels (ATF) are being tested by different nuclear vendors and research organization and their introduction in light water reactors fleet is planned for the second half of the 2020`s. In the framework of the US-DOE Light-Water Reactor Sustainability program, Risk-Informed Safety Analysis pathway (LWRS-RISA), research activities are being conducted at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) for developing tools and methods that can help the industry in quantifying the ATF introduction benefits. In this paper we describe the developed risk-informed methodology, the codes improvements and we present some results for selected accidental conditions. The developed methodology combines INL state-of-the-art deterministic Best Estimate tools like RELAP5-3D code, and Probabilistic Risk Analysis tools like RAVEN and SAPHIRE codes. The analyses are performed on a three-loops pressurized water reactor (PWR) simulating accidental conditions like Station Blackout and LB-LOCA and considering near-term ATF (FeCrAl and Chromium-coated clads). Finally, we show, through our methodologies, how the delta-Core Damage Frequency can be assessed.
