NEUP CINR-20-19590: Benchmark Evaluation of Transient Multi-Physics Experimental Data for Pellet Cladding Mechanical Interactions

The goal of the proposed project is to develop integral benchmark evaluations based on available experimental data from cold ramp tests performed at the Studsvik testing R2 reactor. The proposed project is relevant to the objectives stated in the topic MS-NE-1 (Integral Benchmark Evaluations): it is focused on providing benchmark evaluation of existing experimental data based on the cold ramp transient tests at R2 reactor suitable for inclusion in the IRPhEP handbook.
