Evaluating transient fission gas release in high burnup light water reactor fuel during loss of coolant accident conditions via new capabilities
In this study, the role of transient fission gas release (tFGR) in the cladding burst behavior of high burnup fuel during a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) in commercial light water reactors was further investigated via the use of a new apparatus. During the LOCA-related temperature ramps of high burnup fuel, the release of fission gases exceeds the steady-state release ob…

Experiment to Investigate the On-set of Transient Fission Gas Release Under Simulated LOCA Conditions
Continuing efforts to better understand the phenomenon of transient fission gas release in irradiated commercial light water reactor fuel undergoing a simulated loss of coolant accident (LOCA) will be discussed in this work. During heating associated with LOCA conditions there is an additional release of fission gas beyond what is typically released during steady state ope…

DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSIENT FISSION GAS RELEASE CAPABILITIES TO STUDY HIGH BURNUP COMMERCIAL FUEL PERFORMANCE UNDER LOSS OF COOLANT ACCIDENT CONDITIONS
The contribution of transient fission gas release to the burst behaviour of high burnup fuel during a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) for commercial light water reactors is a complex phenomenon that is not fully understood. During the temperature ramp associated with a LOCA, there is significant, additional transient fission gas release in excess of steady state fission ga…
