NEUP CINR-17-13019: Evaluation of Accident Tolerant Fuels Surface Characteristics in Critical Heat Flux Performance

The objective of this proposal is to perform separate-effects and system-wide tests of the AREVA and GE ATF concepts under consideration to investigate the impact of cladding surface characteristics in CHF under normal and anticipated off-normal conditions. The experimental results will be used to develop and validate enhanced models for the prediction of CHF that will be implemented in various subchannel and system analysis codes, both licensed and under development.
