1: Advances in ATF Materials and Manufacturing
- Kan SAKAMOTO (Co- Chairs)
- Nuria Doncel Gutierrez (Co- Chairs)
Description
• Bundle Tests – Bundle tests with ATFs simulating DBA, DEC-A and DEC-B conditions including tests with air ingress
• Separate Effect Tests (SETs) – SETs focused on nominal operating conditions and anticipated occupational occurrences (long-term corrosion testing, mechanical tests, coating defects), accidental scenarios (HT steam/air oxidation, LOCA- and RIA-related SETs)
• In-pile Testing– Irradiation testing of candidate ATF materials both in research reactors or accelerators and commercial power plants (e.g., LTRs, LTAs)

The FeCrAl-oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloy is a promising candidate alloy for the accident tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding of light water reactors (LWRs) and has been recently developed in Japan. This paper reports on the progress of the development of accident tolerant FeCrAl-ODS fuel claddings for boiling water reactors (BWRs) in Japan.
Both experimental and analytical studies were...
Chromium(Cr)-coated zirconium cladding has become a leading candidate material for the accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding in recent engineering activities after more than a decade of technological developing. Extensive research has been conducted worldwide, covering the preparation process, performance evaluation, and test verification. The commercial reactor irradiation of Cr-coated...
INTRODUCTION: Following the Fukushima Daiichi powerplant accident in March 2011 which resulted from an offshore tsunami, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) launched a program to investigate enhancing the accident tolerance of light water reactors (LWRs). The program mandated a focus on the development of accident tolerant fuel (ATF) that when compared to traditional UO2 and zirconium-alloy...
