Anotace
The project will investigate high-temperature properties and oxidation resistance of fuel claddings made from zirconium alloy. The main aim of the project is to implement the creep characteristics of E110 cladding tube in LOCA temperature range into the FEMAXI software and to create the diffusion oxidation model. The creep tests will be carried out on E110 claddings used in NPP Temelin with its wall thickness about 0.686 mm. If the E110 cladding tube with wall thickness of 0.585 mm will be available, the creep tests on it will be performed as well. The special attention will be given by the revision of the proposed oxidation criteria.
