Abstract:During the operation of fuel elements under conditions when the power per unit length varies, there is danger that the cladding will rupture by the mechanism of corrosion cracking under stress [ 1, 2]. To take account of this phenomenon in the prediction of the working capacity of fuel elements in transient states, it is necessary to know the laws governing the fracture of the fuel element cladding.It is known that the fundamental characteristic determining the resistance of a material to crack propagation in … Show more
