  2. KS 150 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KS_150

    KS 150 is a heavy water moderated, gas cooled reactor (HWGCR) able to refuel during operation. Seventy metal uranium wires, each clad in a compound of magnesium and beryllium, are bundled together to form a fuel rod.

  3. Nuclear reactor safety system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reactor_safety_system

    The fuel cladding is the first layer of protection around the nuclear fuel and is designed to protect the fuel from corrosion that would spread fuel material throughout the reactor coolant circuit. In most reactors it takes the form of a sealed metallic or ceramic layer.

  4. Fuel element failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_element_failure

    A fuel element failure is a rupture in a nuclear reactor's fuel cladding that allows the nuclear fuel or fission products, either in the form of dissolved radioisotopes or hot particles, to enter the reactor coolant or storage water. [1] The de facto standard nuclear fuel is uranium dioxide or a mixed uranium/plutonium dioxide.

    These can cause stress corrosion cracking of metal parts which include fuel cladding and other pipework. To mitigate this hydrazine and hydrogen are injected into a BWR or PWR primary cooling circuit as corrosion inhibitors to adjust the redox properties of the system. A review of recent developments on this topic has been published. [10]

  6. Nuclear fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fuel

    Cladding is the outer layer of the fuel rods, standing between the coolant and the nuclear fuel. It is made of a corrosion -resistant material with low absorption cross section for thermal neutrons , usually Zircaloy or steel in modern constructions, or magnesium with small amount of aluminium and other metals for the now-obsolete Magnox reactors .

  8. Loss-of-coolant accident - Wikipedia

    The residual decay heat causes rapid increase in temperature and internal pressure of the fuel cladding which leads to plastic deformation and subsequent bursting. During a loss-of-coolant accident, zirconium-based fuel claddings undergo high temperature oxidation, phase transformation, and creep deformation simultaneously. [3]
