Proceedings of International Nuclear Fuel Cycle Conference / Light Water Reactor Fuel Performance Conference (Global/Top Fuel 2019) (USB Flash Drive), p.1038 - 1047, 2019/09

Oxidation-resistant iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl) steels have been proposed for application as cladding materials in light water reactor fuel rods with improved accident tolerance. Within the Coordinated Research Project ACTOF of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a fuel performance modeling benchmark for FeCrAl cladding behavior was conducted. During this effort, calculations were performed with various fuel performance codes for a set of fuel rod problems with FeCrAl steel as cladding material, and results were compared to each other.

The energy scale $$Omega_{0}$$ of the electron-boson spectral function in the heavy-fermion, $$d$$-wave superconductor NpPd$$_5$$Al$$_2$$ is predicted on the basis of Eliashberg theory calculations. Assuming a spectral function shape typical for antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations, and imposing constraints provided by the experimental values for the critical temperature and the low-temperature energy gap, one obtains values of $$Omega_{0}$$ of about 2-2.5 meV, slightly dependent from the strength of the Coulomb pseudopotential. These values are in excellent agreement with the characteristic magnetic fluctuations energy estimated from NMR measurements of the nuclear-spin-lattice relaxation time at the Al site. The calculated temperature dependence of the upper critical field, the local spin susceptibility, and the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate is also in good agreement with available experimental data.
