“…Testing of SNF rods from PWRs, including HBR Zircaloy-4 cladding, NA, and Catawba M5 cladding [6][7][8], demonstrated that the cyclic fatigue lifetime of SNF rods generally depends on the amplitude of the applied moment when a 5 Hz waveform is used. It was also demonstrated that the lifetime of SNF is related to the degree of damage to cladding and fuel pellets resulting from irradiation after long-term service inside a reactor.…”

The objective of this research is to collect experimental data on spent nuclear fuel (SNF) from pressurized water reactors (PWRs), including the H. B. Robinson Nuclear Power Station (HBR), Catawba Nuclear Station, North Anna Nuclear Power Station (NA), and the Limerick Nuclear Power Station (LMK) boiling water reactor (BWR). Data will be collected under simulated transportation environments using the cyclic integrated reversible-bending fatigue tester (CIRFT), an enabling hot-cell testing technology developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). These data will be used to support ongoing SNF modeling activities and to address regulatory issues associated with SNF transport.

“…Since its commissioning in 2013, SNF from various power plants have been studied with CIRFT. These include both BWRs and PWRs with different cladding materials (Zircaloy-2, Zircaloy-4, M5 TM ) and with different fuels (UO 2 , MOX) [117][118][119] . More recently, CIRFT's capabilities have been extended to allow studying hydride reorientation and annealing [120] .…”

The role of dry storage in spent nuclear fuel management becomes more and more important. Originally intended to serve as a temporary solution for a few decades until final disposal, now dry storage period is to be extended to 100 years and beyond. It has to be proven for licensing that the fuel rod integrity during dry storage is ensured. Since it is difficult to provide experimental support, the licensing process has to rely largely on numerical simulations. This paper reviews the literature associated with the modeling of spent nuclear fuel under dry storage conditions. The main phenomena threatening the fuel rod integrity and the numerical models representing them are described here. Moreover, the most recent or currently ongoing experimental efforts that could support the modeling of nuclear fuel in dry storage in the future are discussed. Finally, this paper reviews approaches to dry storage modeling chosen by different countries. In general, these approaches are similar and can be described as a calculation chain consisting of neutronics-thermo-hydraulics-fuel performance computations where sensitivity and uncertainty studies are crucial elements.
