Behavior of Zr1%Nb Fuel Cladding under Accident Conditions
The behavior of the VVER fuel (E110) cladding under accident conditions has been
investigated at the AEKI in order to study the role of oxidation and hydrogen uptake on the
cladding embrittlement and to understand the phenomena that took place during the Paks-2
cleaning tank incident (2003). The test programme covered small scale tests and large scale tests
with electrically heated 7-rod bundles in the CODEX (Core Degradation Experiment) facility.
Since a hydrogen rich atmosphere could have been formed in the closed tank, the experiments
were carried out in hydrogen-steam mixture.
