The role of dry storage in spent nuclear fuel management becomes more and more
important. Originally intended to serve as a temporary solution for a few decades until final …

In light water nuclear reactors, waterside corrosion of the cladding material leads to the
production of hydrogen, a fraction of which is picked up by the zirconium cladding and …

During operation of a light water reactor, waterside corrosion of the Zircaloy nuclear fuel
cladding causes hydrogen pickup. The absorbed hydrogen can redistribute in the cladding …

This study presents an updated mHNGD (modified hydrogen nucleation-growth-dissolution)
model by improving atomic fraction of solid solution hydrogen with the use of instantaneous …

During operation in a nuclear reactor, Zr-based nuclear fuel cladding is subject to waterside
corrosion which can lead to hydrogen ingress. The hydrogen that enters the material will …

Precipitation of radial hydrides in zirconium-based cladding concomitant with the cooling of
spent nuclear fuel can potentially compromise cladding integrity during its subsequent …

Absorbed hydrogen impacts the structural integrity of zirconium alloy components,
particularly under conditions in which hydrides form. Improving the understanding of …

In light water reactors, Zr-based alloys used for nuclear fuel cladding undergo oxidation and
absorb hydrogen, which can precipitate as brittle zirconium hydrides. During reactor normal …

The redistribution of hydrogen in zirconium-based components of nuclear reactors is
strongly influenced by local stress states. Such a stress-state can be influenced by the stress …

Abstract The Finite Element software, ABAQUS® together with subroutine codes written in
FORTRAN is used to fully couple the mass diffusion–displacement analysis of hydrogen …
