Coupled Experimental/Numerical Approach to Determine the Creep Behavior of Zr-4 Cladding Under LOCA Condition

Damien Campello; Nicolas Tardif; Marie-Christine Baietto; Michel Coret; Jean Desquines

The thermo-mechanical behavior of Zircaloy-4 fuel rods under Loss-Of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) conditions is investigated. A custom experimental setup is dedicated to the high-temperature creep ballooning study of 90mm long cladding samples. Creep tests were performed under an inert environment (argon), for temperatures from 750 to 850°C and internal pressures ranging from 1 to 5 MPa. As the high-temperature creep of metals is strongly influenced by the temperature, the setup allow for a heterogeneous thermal distribution along the specimen. A unique test provides a rich database about the steady-state creep of the alloy. A first campaign is dedicated to bare Stress Relieved Annealed Zr-4.
