Influence of the U3O7 domain structure on cracking during the oxidation of UO2
Lionel Desgranges, Hervé Palancher, M. Gamaléri +5
Cracking is observed when a UO_{2} single crystal is oxidised in air. Previous studies led to the hypothesis that cracking occurs once a critical depth of U_{3}O_{7} oxidised layer…
Specific Aspects of Internal Corrosion of Nuclear Clad Made of Zircaloy
Jean-Baptiste Minne, Lionel Desgranges, Virgil Optasanu +3
In PWR, the Zircaloy based clad is the first safety barrier of the fuel rod, it must prevent the dispersion of the radioactive elements, which are formed by fission inside the UO2…
A thermodynamic approach of the mechano-chemical coupling during the oxidation of uranium dioxide
Nicolas Creton, Virgil Optasanu, Tony Montesin +2
The aim of the present work is to introduce a thermodynamic model to describe the growth of an oxide layer on a metallic substrate. More precisely, this paper offers a study of oxy…
