Accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding materials aim to improve fuel reliability and safety
during accident scenarios in water-cooled reactors. These ATF cladding should also perform …

Flow boiling heat transfer tests were conducted to evaluate the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) and
Heat Transfer Coefficient (HTC) of conventional and accident tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding …

With the goal of increasing the performance and safety of existing nuclear power plants, the
research and development of Accident Tolerant Fuels (ATFs) are of high priority within the …

This study investigates the oxidation behavior of FeCrAl (APMT and C26M) alloys in high-
temperature steam at 1000° C using isothermal and cyclic conditions. The FeCrAl alloys …

FeCrAl alloys are candidate materials for manufacturing accident-tolerant fuel (ATF)
cladding intended for light water reactors to increase fuel reliability and safety during design …

Dynamics of nucleate boiling are strongly affected by the formation and behaviour of the
microlayer, a layer of liquid underneath growing bubbles. As a result of its minute thickness …

Abstract Enhanced Accident Tolerant Fuels (ATFs) systems for light water reactors require
higher temperature oxidation resistance in steam environments than the current UO 2 …

ABSTRACT Accident Tolerant Fuels (ATFs) are novel technologies designed to improve fuel
reliability and increase safety margins during design-basis and beyond-design-basis …
