Modified 316 and 15Cr-20Ni base austenitic stainless steels had been developed by Japan Nuclear Cycle Development lnstitute as the candidate materials for Monju and Demonstration fast breeder reactor. Previously, irradiation creep correlation of modified 316 and 15Cr-20Ni had been evaluated using pressurized tubes irradiated in FFTF/MOTA. 0n the other hand, for other austenitic S.S. developed abroad, it was reported that irradiation creep behavior of fuel pin could not be sufficiently described using results of pressurized tube experiments. ln this study, irradiation creep properties of modified 316 and 15Cr-20Ni fuel pins (MFA-I, 2) irradiated in FFTF were evaluated. And irradiation deformation of MFA-1, 2 fuel pins were estimated using the irradiation creep correlation based on MOTA data. The results are summarized as follows : (1)Irradiation creep compliance B$$_{0}$$ calculated from MFA-I, 2 data are 5.6$$sim$$ 15.0$$times$$10$$^{-6}$$ [($$times$$I0$$^{26}$$n/m$$^{2}$$, E>0.1Mev)$$^{-1}$$(MPa)$$^{-1}$$], Which are larger than B$$_{0}$$ based on MOTA data of 2.2$$sim$$6.4$$times$$10$$^{-6}$$ and are within the range of B$$_{0}$$ of other austenitic S.S. abroad. (2)Creep-swelling coupling coefficient D derived from MFA-1, 2 data tend to decrease with increasing swelling rate. And the range of D based on MFA-1, 2 data include values calculated from MOTA data of 3.8$$sim$$8.2$$times$$10$$^{-3}$$ [(MPa)$$^{-1}$$] and for other austenitic S.S. abroad. (3)As the result that irradiation creep deformation of MFA-1, 2 fuel pins could be appropriately estimated using the irradiation creep correlation derived from MOTA data, it is considered that the creep, correlation based on MOTA data can be applied to estimation of fuel pin deformation.

Analysis of the secondary stress in the fuel pin cladding due to the swelling gradient through the direction of its thickness

In the fast reactor the swelling of the fuel cladding occur due to the irradiation. Under the irradiation, the temperature gradient of the cladding through the direction of its thickness causes the swelling gradient and this will cause the secondary stress. In this study, we analyzed this secondary stress using the finite element model of the irradiation induced deformation of the cladding by FINAS code. The result of this analysis is summarized as follows. (1)The secondary stress is mainly caused by the gradient of the incubation period of the swelling, The secondary stress becomes very small at the end of irradiation due to the relieving of the stress by the irradiation creep deformation accelerated by the swelling. (2)The calculated maximum stress including the secondary stress under the irradiation is compared with the design value of the ultimate tensile strength for PNC316 for trial. The calculated value are lower than the design value. (3)The effect of the swelling accelerated by the stress is analyzed using the correlation between the swelling and the stress. The result shows that the increasing of the secondary stress due to the acceleration of the swelling is very small because the irradiation creep deformation relieves the stress more effectively by the acceleration of the irradiation creep rate due to the swelling.
