Abstract

Three-axial deformation behavior of the Zircaloy cladding tube under the irradiation condition of the fuel in pressurized water reactor can be analyzed by the anisotropy in the creep and the irra- diation growth, which depends on the texture parameter. A methodology to evaluate the impact of the anisotropic creep and irradiation growth on the strain in each axial direction of the cladding tube has been proposed. Based on the measured strains after irradiation and predicted ones with the help of a fuel performance analysis code, it is found that a tangential strain of the cladding tube is caused mainly by the creep, whereas a axial strain of the cladding is caused mainly by the irradiation growth but with a considerable contribution of the creep at low irradiation.

가압 경수로 핵연료의 중성자 조사 조건에서 Zircaloy피복관의 3축방향으로의 변동거동은 집합도 계수에 따른 크립 이방성고 조사성장 이방성을 통하여 분석될 수 있다. 이러한 크립과 조사성장의 이방성이 Zircaloy피복관의 각 축방향 변형율에 미치는 영향을 평가할 수 있는 방법론이 제시되었다. 연소 후 측정된 KOFA Zircaloy-4피복관의 변형율과 핵연료 성능 분석 코드의예측치를 토대로 하여 각 축방향 변형율을 계산한 결과 KOFA Aircaloy-4 피복관의 원주방향 변형은 크립에 의해 주로 일어난 반면, 피복관의 길이방향 변형은 조사성장에 의하여 일어났으나 낮은 조사량에서는 크립의 영향도 상당히 큰것으로 나타났다.
