3/02 SCWR Fuel Rod Design Requirements Design Limits Input for Performance Evaluations H. Garkisch, Westinghouse Electric Co. SCWR Fuel Rod Design Requirements - Overview - The primary function of the fuel rod is to generate and transfer heat to the reactor coolant. A second function of the fuel is to contain the fuel and the fission products and provide a barrier against coolant contamination with fission products. For this the structural integrity of the fuel rod must be maintained in compliance with applicable requirements. The SCWR operating conditions exceeds the current experience with LWRs and LMFBRs, thus specific criteria must be developed. SCWR Fuel Rod Design Requirements - Overview - Generic Considerations for SCWR developed during 1st year of NERI program: Compile NRC SRP criteria for nuclear reactors Identify main areas of difference between SCWR and standard criteria Identify simplified requirements for preliminary analysis Proposal for specific design criteria/fuel rod failure modes developed and submitted to INEEL during 2nd year Develop detailed review of NRC SRP Criteria Develop specific fuel failure modes and design criteria for SCWR Design Criteria: LWR experience Fuel Design requirements for LWRs are defined in the NRC Standard Review Plan to satisfy 10CFR50 GDC10 “The objectives of the fuel system safety review are to provide assurance that (a) the fuel system is not damaged as a result of normal operation and anticipated operational occurrences, (b) fuel system damage is never so severe as to prevent control rod insertion when it is required, (c) the number of fuel rod failures is not underestimated for postulated accidents, and (d) coolability is always maintained.” Design Criteria: LWR experience Design Criteria for SCWRs Fuel Rod Failure Modes Fracture induced by rod pressure and fuel cladding mechanical interaction, assisted by irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking and stress corrosion induced embrittlement of
