A reactivity-initiated accident (RIA)-simulated test CN-1 on a high-burnup 64 GWd/t mixed-oxide fuel rod sheathed with M5$$^{TM}$$ cladding was conducted at the Nuclear Safety Research Reactor, resulting in fuel failure. A small opening with slight ballooning deformation characterized the post-test visual appearance of the test fuel rod. Simulation using fuel performance codes FEMAXI-8/RANNS predicted rod survival under early phase loading induced by pellet-cladding mechanical interaction and subsequent boiling transition, and the cladding surface temperature measured online confirmed the occurrence of boiling transition. The experimental observation and simulation indicate that the failure was caused by a high-temperature rupture following increased rod-internal pressure. The RANNS sensitivity analysis revealed that a mechanical state parameter dedicated to predicting plastic instability might be an effective index for evaluating the risk of rupture failure during RIAs.

The NEA Expert Group on Reactor Fuel Performance (EGRFP) proposed a benchmark on fuel performance codes modeling of pellet-cladding mechanical interation (PCMI). The aim of the benchmark was to improve understanding and modeling of PCMI amongst NEA member organizations. This was achieved by comparing PCMI predictions for a number of specified cases. The results of the two hypothetical cases (1 and 2) were presented earlier. The two final cases (3 and 4) are comparison between calculations and measurements, which will be published as NEA reports. This paper focuses on Case 3, which consists of eight beginning of life (BOL) sub-cases (3a to 3h) each with different pellet designs that have undergone ramping in the Halden Reactor. The aforementioned experiments are known as the IFA-118 experiments and were performed from 1969 to 1970. The variations between cases include four different pellets dimensions (7, 14, 20 and 30 mm of height), two different gapsizes between pellet-cladding (40 and 100 microns) and three variations on pellet face geometry (flat, dishing and dishing with chamfer). Such diversity has allowed exploring the codes sensitivity to these individual factors.

燃料挙動解析コードFEMAXI-8の燃料結晶粒内ガス移行モデル改良

FEMAXI-8は、軽水炉燃料の通常運転時及び過渡条件下の挙動解析を目的として日本原子力研究開発機構が開発・整備を進めてきたFEMAXIコードの最新バージョンとして、2019年3月に公開された。本報告では、公開以降新たに整備を進めた、燃料結晶粒内核分裂生成物(FP)ガスバブルの多群/非平衡モデルについてまとめた。結晶粒内で様々なサイズを持って分布しているFPガスバブルを単一の大きさのガスバブルにより近似していた従来のモデルに対し、このモデルでは、バブルサイズに関する2群以上の群構造と非平衡な挙動の双方を表現することが出来る。これによって、妥当なオーダーのガスバブル圧力算定が可能となるなど、主に過渡的な挙動の再現性改善が見込めると共に、粒内FPガスバブル挙動についてより厳密な記述が可能となり、FP挙動モデリング全体としての高度化余地が拡大している。今回のモデル整備では、まず、任意の群数や空間分割に対応する粒内FP挙動解析モジュールを開発した。次に、FEMAXI-8上で容易に運用可能な2群モデルとして扱うため、同モジュールとFEMAXI-8間のインタフェースを開発し、両者を接続した。これによりFEMAXI-8から利用可能となった2群モデルについては改めて検証解析を実施した。多群/非平衡モデル適用時にも一定の性能を確保できるモデルパラメータを決定し、公開パッケージ向けに整備した。

This paper reports a computer-code analysis on the base-irradiation behavior of the chromia-and-alumina-doped BWR rod irradiated to 64 GWd/t in Oskarshamn-3, Sweden, and subjected to the reactivity-initiated-accident (RIA) test OS-1, which resulted in a fuel failure due to pellet-cladding mechanical interaction (PCMI) at the lowest fuel-enthalpy increase in all the BWR tests ever performed. The inverse calculation which utilized post-irradiation examination data as its constraint conditions revealed that the OS-1 rod had very likely experienced more intense PCMI loading due to higher swelling rate during base irradiation than other BWR rods subjected to previous RIA tests and thus had been prone to experience enhanced radial-hydride formation. The significant difference in the cladding hoop-stress more than 50 MPa discriminates the OS-1 rod from other BWR rods and supports the interpretation that enhanced radial-hydrides formation differentiated the PCMI-failure behavior observed in the test OS-1 from the previous BWR-fuel tests.

Analytical study of SPERT-CDC test 859 using fuel performance codes FEMAXI-8 and RANNS

The fuel-failure-limit data obtained in the simulated reactivity-initiated-accident experiment SPERT-CDC 859 (SPERT859) has entailed a lot of discussions if it represents fuel-failure behavior of typical commercial LWRs for its specific pre-irradiation condition and fuel state. The fuel-rod conditions before and during SPERT859 were thus assessed by the fuel-performance codes FEMAXI-8 and RANNS with focusing on cladding corrosion and its effect on the failure limit of the test rod. The analysis showed that the fuel cladding was probably excessively corroded even when the influential calculation conditions such as fuel swelling and creep models were determined so that the lowest limit of the cladding oxide layer thickness was captured. Such assumption of excessive cladding corrosion during pre-irradiation well explains not only the test-rod state before pulse irradiation but also the fuel-failure limit observed. Such understanding undermines anew the representativeness of the test data as a direct basis of safety evaluation for LWR fuels.

FEMAXI-8は、軽水炉燃料の通常運転時及び過渡条件下の挙動解析を目的として原子力機構が開発・整備を進めてきたFEMAXI-7(2012年公開)の次期リリースに向けた最新バージョンである。FEMAXI-7は主に実験データ解析や燃料設計等研究/開発ツールとして利用されてきたが、燃料挙動に係る現象解明やモデル開発等の燃料研究分野における適用拡大並びに燃料の安全評価等への活用を念頭に、原子力機構ではその性能向上及び実証を進めた。具体的には新規モデル開発、既存モデルの改良及び拡充、プログラムのデータ/処理構造見直し、旧言語規格からの移植、バグフィックス、照射試験データベース構築等のインフラ整備、体系的な検証解析を通じた問題の発見と修正等を行うとともに、各種照射試験で取得された144ケースの実測データを対象とした総合的な性能評価を実施した。燃料中心温度について概ね相対誤差10%の範囲で実測値を再現する等、解析結果は実測データと妥当な一致を示した。

OECD/NEA benchmark on pellet-clad mechanical interaction modelling with fuel performance codes; Impact of number of radial pellet cracks and pellet-clad friction coefficient

The benchmark on PCMI was initiated by OECD/NEA Expert Group on Reactor Fuel Performance (EGRFP) in June 2015 and is currently in the latter stages of compiling results and preparing the final report. The aim of the benchmark is to improve understanding and modelling of PCMI amongst NEA member organisations. This is being achieved by comparing PCMI predictions of different fuel performance codes for a number of cases. Two of these cases are hypothetical cases aiming to facilitate understanding of the effects of code-to-code differences in fuel performance models. The two remaining cases are actual irradiations, where code predictions are compared with measured data. During analysis of participants' results of the hypothetical cases, the assumptions for number of radial pellet cracks and the pellet-clad friction coefficient (which can be zero, finite or infinite) were identified to be important factors in explaining differences between predictions once pellet-cladding contact occurs. However, these parameters varied in the models and codes used originally by the participants. This fact led to the extension of the benchmark by inclusion of two additional cases, where the number of radial pellet cracks and three different values of the friction coefficient were prescribed in the case definition. Seven calculations from six organisations contributed results were compared and analysed in this paper.

燃料棒設計パラメータの熱的照射挙動に与える影響を調べるため、材料試験炉(JMTR)の水ループOWL-1を用いて、計装付き燃料棒による燃料中心温度測定実験を行なった。2種類の高性能燃料棒(Cuバリヤ付き燃料棒とZrウィナー付き燃料棒)及び現行の8$$times$$8型BWR用標準燃料棒からなる本バンドル集合体を照射試料とした。本研究では、燃料中心温度挙動に着目して、標準燃料棒と高性能燃料棒及び2種類の高性能燃料棒間に差違が生じるか否かを調べた。その結果、3本の燃料棒について有意な差違が観察され、そして、燃料棒の被覆管内面あらさがこれらの差違に重要な効果を与えていることが明らかになった。

The significant difference in the PCMI-related parameters between the OS-1 rod and other BWR rods supports the interpretation that enhanced radial-hydrides formation differentiated the PCMI-failure behavior observed in the test OS-1 from the previous BWR-fuel tests.
