HT9FailureClad
Failure model for HT-9 cladding. Contains multiple models for steady state (burnup calculations) and transient operations.
Description
HT9FailureClad is the model for HT9 cladding failure during both steady state and transient irradiation conditions. Here the steady state and transient are the terms used by reactor physicists: steady state is mainly referred to those irradiation conditions during normal reactor operation, while transient is mainly referred to those irradiation conditions during accident scenarios. Unlike the name implies, the steady state conditions may also involve some time-dependent irradiation conditions.
This cladding failure model contains two types of cladding failure models: One is based on the cumulative damage fraction (CDF) and the other is based on the constrained cavity growth (CCG) with Diffusion and Creep with Sliding (D&CS) mechanism. The CDF model is mainly used for steady state (normal reactor operation) simulations while the CCG model is used for power transients (accidents scenarios). Some CDF models may also be used for transient scenarios.
Both types of the creep-fracture failure models are available in BISON similar to the approach used in Karahan and Buongiorno (2010).
For the CDF-style approach, a variety of options are provided based on different time-to-rupture correlations. First, a pair of long and short time-scale CDF options, which are reported in Karahan and Buongiorno (2010), are available as the cdf_long and cdf_short option. Steady-state simulations are usually handled by the Cumulative Damage Fraction (CDF) model using the long time-scale Dorn parameter correlation (Nam et al., 1998). Transient scenarios are handled with the short time-scale Dorn parameter correlation (Nam et al., 1998). A cdf_both option is also available to adopt the longer predicted time-to-rupture of the two correlations. Second, the time-to-rupture correlation set reported in the Metallic Fuel Handbook (MFH)(Hofman et al., 2019) is provided as the cdf_mfh option. Last but not least, the transient specific time-to-rupture correlation in the Westinghouse Hanford Corporate report is provided as the cdf_whc option (Huang, 1994).
The advanced Constrained Cavity Growth (CCG) with Diffusion and Creep with Sliding (D&CS) model (Tvergaard, 1985) may also be used for short time-scale transients if all parameters are known.
Cumulative Damage Fraction
The CDF model compares the time-to-rupture value with experimentally obtained results as a function of stress and absolute temperature. When this value (CDF) equals one, the material has failed.
Thus, the key for CDF prediction is an appropriate time-to-rupture correlation, which is usually a function of temperature and hoop stress. In literature, there exist a series of time-to-rupture correlations for HT9. Each of these correlations has its own features and applicable scenarios, which will be introduced in detail as follows.
DiMelfi/Nam Long/Short Time-Scale Correlation Set
The time of rupture function in hours is found in where is 154 kcal/mole for long time-scale data and 70.17 kcal/mole for short time-scale data, is the Boltzmann constant, and is the absolute temperature in K. is the Dorn parameter coefficient ranging from 3.915 10 at 650 C to 1 at 600 C for long time-scale data and 2.778 10 for all short time-scale data. The Dorn parameter comes from the curve fits for long and short time-scale correlations, respectively, where is the hoop stress in Pa.
For long time-scale correlations with temperatures outside of the range of the Dorn parameter coefficient , the value is set to the appropriate end value to avoid extrapolation. Interpolation of the value is conducted within the temperature range. If both correlations are chosen, then the longer rupture time result is taken as the actual time of rupture (DiMelfi et al., 1993). When choosing both correlations, erroneous values are possible. Both correlations are recommended when simulation values fall within the range where the long and short time-scale correlations overlap.
MFH Correlation Set
The Metallic Fuel Handbook (MFH) provides another set of correlations for the creep rupture time for HT9. Similar to the DiMelfi's approach, the MFH creep rupture correlation set also adopts a two-stage approach to account for high-stress and low-stress scenarios. For both stages, the creep rupture time has the same form as follows, where is time-to-rupture in hour, is temperature in Kelvin (K), and is hoop stress in MPa. On the other hand, , , and are the three fitting coefficients that are different for high-stress and low-stress scenarios. The values of these coefficients can be found in the following table.
| A | B | C | |
|---|---|---|---|
| High Stress | -32.490 | 57781 | -11800 |
| Low Stress | -35.173 | 45858 | -5563.1 |
The choice of which set of coefficients to use should be made to ensure that the correlation predicts the shortest time-to-rupture.
WHC Correlation Set
In 1994, Westinghouse Hanford Corporate (WHC) reported an updated creep rupture time correlation for HT9 under transient conditions. In the WHC correlation, the time-to-rupture () has the following form, where is the Dorn parameter, is the activation energy fitted to be 70.17 kcal/mole, is the gas constant, and is temperature in Kelvin (K).
The Dorn parameter is a function of applied hoop stress (), where = 730 MPa is the nominal hardness of the material. Fitting coefficient = 12.47 is assumed to be independent from temperature, while is a function of temperature as follows,
Summary of Time-to-Rupture Correlation Selection
All the four time-to-rupture correlations are compared in Figure 1, showing that use of different CDF options would lead to very dissimilar CDF prediction. Generally speaking, cdf_long and cdf_mfh should be used in those steady state simulation, while cdf_short and cdf_whc should be used in those short-term transient scenarios.
Figure 1: Comparison between different time-to-rupture correlations available to select for BISON HT9 CDF calculation.
It is worth mentioning that Briggs et al. (1995) provides a cladding failure probability assessment based on CDF values, which is based on the cdf_mfh correlation. Therefore, cdf_mfh is the ideal selection if the cladding failure probability needs to be evaluated accordingly. Briggs et al. (1995) also suggests use of a time-to-rupture correlation for transient/accident scenarios reported back in 1985 by WHC, which was later updated to be the cdf_whc correlation in 1994 (Huang, 1994).
Constrained Cavity Growth
The CCG with D&CS model calculates the crack radius of periodic cavities along grain boundaries. The cavity centers are spaced equally at a distance of . Failure occurs when . The correlation is very sensitive to the user supplied value of . For most situations, the value of is either known from experiment data or fitted for a known failure of an experiment which is being simulated. The short time-scale CDF model may also be used for short time-scale failure simulations where the value of is unknown or in question.
The crack radius growth rate is related to the cavity volume growth rate by with being defined as where being the ratio of the grain boundary free energy to twice the grain surface free energy.
The volume growth rate is the sum of the rigid grain growth rate and power law creeping material growth rate for .
The average normal stress is . The sintering stress can be calculated as . The grain boundary diffusion parameter is where is the boundary diffusivity, is the atomic volume, is the Boltzmann constant, and is the absolute temperature in K. The area fraction of the grain boundary is determined with where . The Von Mises stress is . The hydrostatic (mean) stress is . The effective creep strain- rate is . With the assumption that the material follows a power law creep, is the value of the power, , and .
The crack length is assumed to begin at a minimum value. The crack length is never allowed to fall below this value. The crack may shrink after it has grown. However, after failure has occurred, the crack is assumed to be permanent and can no longer shorten. The crack length is found by taking the calculated growth rate and multiplying by the current time increment.
Example Input Syntax
HT9FailureClad has tests for both CDF and CCG models. The tests also verify errors are produced when required input is missing or undefined. As both models depend on other models, investigating the entire test input file is recommended.

## Description ##
# Four elements of HT9 clad (2D) for a total pipe wall thickness 0.005 m have an internal pressure
# applied for 21.8 years in two time steps. The first time step has no failure, but the CDF of the
# internal (first) element is 0.545 and the outside (final) element is 0.501. The final time step has
# CDF values all greater than 1 with the final cell barely failing with a CDF of 1. The clad failure value
# is set to 1 for every element due to the temperature being set higher than in the low temperature CDF test.
# The temperature is 923.0 K giving a Dorn number of 1.5442e-8 which correlates to failure after
# 6.33e8 seconds have passed at a constant hoop stress for the first element. The last element has a
# Dorn number of 1.6801e-8 and failure occurs at 6.88e8 seconds.

# TEMPLATE FILE
# This is not an input file. It is a template used to populate the input files.
# Changes made to this file will be applied to all 25 X430 input files.
# Values used for individual pins are stored in pin_inputs.csv. Input files are
# generated using the Python script generate_input_files.py.
# X430 ASSESSMENT CASE
# BISON recreation of the 52-pin X430 experiment series, which was irradiated in
# EBR-II from 1987-88 to a peak burnup of about 10 at%. The subassembly
# contained 37 pins and was irradiated in three experiments: X430, X430A, and
# X430B. After each experiment, pins were removed, examined, replaced as
# necessary, and the subassembly was reconstructed. BISON simulations were
# developed for 25 of the pins, of which 2 are
# assessments. Legacy calculations and PIE measurements are available for all 25
# pins. Units are in standard SI: J, K, kg, m, Pa, s.
# For a more complete description of the experiments, see [Hayes et al., 1994].
# For a more complete description of the development and results of this
# assessment, see [Greenquist and Powers, 2021].
# This file simulates pin %{pin} with a composition of %{composition}.

## Description ##
# Four elements of HT9 clad (2D) for a total pipe wall thickness 0.005 m have an internal pressure
# applied for 1 year in two time steps. The first time step has no failure, but the CDF of the
# internal (first) element is 0.542 and the outside (final) element is 0.5189. The final time step has
# CDF values all greater than 1 with the final cell barely failing with a CDF of 1.038.
# The temperature is 923.0 K giving a Dorn number of 6.91e-10 which correlates to failure after
# 2.845e7 seconds have passed at a constant hoop stress for the first element. The last element has a
# Dorn number of 7.14e-10 and failure occurs at 2.94e7 seconds.

## Description ##
# Four elements of HT9 clad (2D) for a total pipe wall thickness 0.005 m have an internal pressure
# applied for 21.8 years in two time steps with no failure. For the first time step the CDF value of the
# internal (first) element is 0.0176 and the outside (final) element is 0.0162. The final time step has CDF
# values all less than 1 with the inside cell being 0.0352 and the outside cell being 0.0324. The reduction in
# temperature from the other CDF test which does fail shows the temperature effect is working as intended.
# The temperature is 873.15 K giving a Dorn number of 1.5442e-8 which correlates to failure after
# 7.64e10 seconds have passed at a constant hoop stress for the first element. The last element has a
# Dorn number of 1.6801e-8 and failure occurs at 8.32e10 seconds.

## Description ##
# Four elements of HT9 clad (2D) for a total pipe wall thickness 0.005 m have an internal pressure
# applied for 21.8 years in two time steps. The first time step has no failure, but the CDF of the
# internal (first) element is 0.545 and the outside (final) element is 0.501. The final time step has
# CDF values all greater than 1 with the final cell barely failing with a CDF of 1. The clad failure value
# is set to 1 for every element due to the temperature being set higher than in the low temperature CDF test.
# The temperature is 923.0 K giving a Dorn number of 1.5442e-8 which correlates to failure after
# 6.33e8 seconds have passed at a constant hoop stress for the first element. The last element has a
# Dorn number of 1.6801e-8 and failure occurs at 6.88e8 seconds.

## Description ##
# Four elements of HT9 clad (2D) for a total pipe wall thickness 0.005 m have an internal pressure
# applied for 1 year in two time steps. The first time step has no failure, but the CDF of the
# internal (first) element is 0.542 and the outside (final) element is 0.5189. The final time step has
# CDF values all greater than 1 with the final cell barely failing with a CDF of 1.038.

## Description ##
# Four elements of HT9 clad (2D) for a total pipe wall thickness 0.005 m have an internal pressure
# applied for 21.8 years in two time steps with no failure. For the first time step the CDF value of the
# internal (first) element is 0.0176 and the outside (final) element is 0.0162. The final time step has CDF
# values all less than 1 with the inside cell being 0.0352 and the outside cell being 0.0324. The reduction in
# temperature from the other CDF test which does fail shows the temperature effect is working as intended.

## Description ##
# Four elements of HT9 clad (2D) for a total pipe wall thickness 0.005 m have an internal pressure
# applied for 21.8 years in two time steps. The first time step has no failure, but the CDF of the
# internal (first) element is 0.545 and the outside (final) element is 0.501. The final time step has
# CDF values all greater than 1 with the final cell barely failing with a CDF of 1. The clad failure value
# is set to 1 for every element due to the temperature being set higher than in the low temperature CDF test.
# The temperature is 923.0 K giving a Dorn number of 1.5442e-8 which correlates to failure after
# 6.33e8 seconds have passed at a constant hoop stress for the first element. The last element has a
# Dorn number of 1.6801e-8 and failure occurs at 6.88e8 seconds.
