The problem in the accident tolerance fuel development was considered in comparison the fuel behavior of SiC/SiC composite cladding tube with current Zry cladding tube. In this study, Reactivity Initiated Accident (RIA) was evaluated using the plant excess security analysis code TRACTTM and the fuel performance code FEMAXI.
