Abstract:The conventional Zircaloy cladding may react with coolant in light water reactors and elicit severe accident at high temperature, which constraint the safe and efficient development of nuclear energy. To avoid the tragedy happened in Fukushima, the concept of Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF) was developed around the globe to secure the steady operation for nuclear power plants. As a short-term solution, deposition of protective coatings upon the cladding tubes are proved to be effective. Among the coatings, Chromi… Show more
