A new experimental setup for high temperature creep test on Zircaloy-4 fuel rods internally pressurized

Résumé

Custom experimental setup has been designed to investigate the secondary creep behavior of Zircaloy-4 cladding under Loss Of Coolant Accident (LOCA) conditions. Creep test are ran at elevated temperatures (from 700 to 900 °C) and the fuel rods are internally pressurized from 10 to 50 bars. The proposed setup induces a non-uniform axial temperature profile. At such temperatures the creep behavior is known to be strongly dependent on the temperature. Two dimensional Digital Image Correlation (2D-DIC) is performed using a custom optical system to compute kinematics data along the axial direction. Near Infra-Red (NIR) method has been developed to measure the temperature distribution. The correlation between the kinematics and thermal profiles is a good way to experimentally determine creep behavior parameters such as activation energy or stress exponent. The setup, its associated methods and results are detailed in this paper.
