摘要

Ceramic Tubular Products is developing a multilayered silicon carbide tube for use as fuel cladding in commercial nuclear reactors. In this project, we exposed a number of alpha and beta phase SiC monolith specimens to the type of steam conditions that would exist in a commercial water reactor during a design basis LOCA (Loss of Coolant Accident). We also exposed specimens at 1400℃, which is 200℃ above the conditions allowed by regulations for a design basis LOCA, and for times up to 8 hours, substantially exceeding the times allowed under current regulatory criteria for licensing of zircaloy clad fuel. The measured recession, and calculated hydrogen gas released during this exposure was compared with that calculated for zircaloy cladding under the same conditions. For example, for a 4 hour exposure test at 1400℃, the measured recision (loss of clad wall thickness) for SiC, adjusted for actual 17 × 17 LWR fuel clad dimensions, was 0.07%, as compared with 42.1% recession calculated for zircaloy. The data thus demonstrates that use of this cladding in commercial LWRs instead of zircaloy will substantially increase the safety margin of LWRs when subject to Loss of Coolant accidents such as recently occurred at Fukushima. This work was sponsored by the US Department of Energy under Small Business Innovative Research Grant DE-SC0004225.
