Dry In-Pile Fracture Test (DRIFT) for Separate-Effects Validation of Ceramic Fuel Fracture Models
Fracture is an important component of nuclear fuel behavior, and significant efforts have been invested into developing fuel performance models that are capable of accurately representing fracture. Usable data on the process of fracture propagation in nuclear fuel under realistic service conditions are very limited. To address this need, a series of separate-effects experiments were […]
