HGBOUNDS [electronic resource] : a program for gap conductance bounds of fast reactor fuel pins.

Fuel-cladding gap conductance is an important parameter required in the thermal analysis of a fuel pin but involves large uncertainties. A computer program HGBOUNDS has been developed using the Baker's calibrated model to estimate the lower and upper bounds of gap conductance of a helium bonded...

520 3 |a Fuel-cladding gap conductance is an important parameter required in the thermal analysis of a fuel pin but involves large uncertainties. A computer program HGBOUNDS has been developed using the Baker's calibrated model to estimate the lower and upper bounds of gap conductance of a helium bonded 20% cold-worked 316 stainless steel clad mixed-oxide fast reactor fuel pin at a steady-state power. The power-to-melt tests used in calibration consisted of helium bonded, 20% cold-worked 316 stainless steel clad, 0.09 to 0.25 mm (3.5 to 10.0 mil) fabricated diametral gap, 25% plutonium-75% uranium mixed oxide fuel pins of 5.84 or 6.35 mm (0.23 or 0.25 inch) outer diameter with peak burnup less than or equal to 11 MWd/KgM, and the model is applicable to similar fuel pins. The code translates all the experimental and modeling uncertainities and the uncertainties of some of the input data into an uncertainty range for the gap conductance. The bounds of gap conductance and fuel pellet inner surface temperature are computed for HEDL P-20 Phase III test pins using the code to check the code against the test and to see the size of the uncertainties. For the six partially melted pins at each axial extent of melting, the pellet inner surface temperature observed in the test (i.e., the fuel melting temperature) lies between the two bounds computed by the code. The computed results for the unmelted pins are also in good agreement with the test observations. 14 refs.
