Currently, States with operating PHWRs use two consistent forms of this fuel acceptance criterion by assuming sheath failure if the athermal sheath strain exceeds 0.4% before 95% of the sheath …

The guidance in Section 4.2, “Fuel System Design,” of NUREG-0800, “Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition” (SRP), lists the …

Numerous criteria related to fuel damage are used in safety analyses: these criteria may differ from country to country. Some are used to minimise cladding degradation during normal operation.

These documents cover aspects such as siting, design, construction, operation, quality assurance, decommissioning and regulation of nuclear and radiation facilities.
