MetallicFuelCoolantWastage
Compute wastage thickness on the cladding-coolant interface.
Description of Original Correlations
Although the majority of the cladding wastage in sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs) occurs at the cladding-fuel interface, known as fuel-cladding chemical interaction (FCCI), which is covered by MetallicFuelWastage, a minor but non-negligible part of the cladding wastage forms on the outer surface of the cladding due to chemical interaction between cladding and primary sodium coolant. The cladding-coolant interaction on HT9 and SS316 cladding is described by this MetallicFuelCoolantWastage Materials module. The model was developed at Argonne National Laboratory as part of the Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) program (Briggs et al., 1995)) As an alternative option, a sodium corrosion thinning correlation developed based on experiments performed by Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory (HEDL) is also given (Anantatmula and Brehm, 1985; Nam et al., 1998).
In the original cladding-coolant interaction wastage correlation, the thickness of the wastage ( in ) is dependent on temperature ( in ) and irradiation time ( in ). The wastage thickness correlation is comprised of three terms: where the first term is the damage depth due to mass loss (corrosion thinning), the second term is ferrite layer growth, and the third term is intergranular penetration. Here, is the damage factor in , is the mass loss rate in , is the ferrite layer growth coefficient in , is intergranular penetration depth in .In the current model, is only applicable to austenitic cladding (i.e., SS316).
Here, is an activation energy controlled process, where and are respectively pre-exponential coefficient () and activation energy (), is gas constant ().
is a linear function of temperature with coefficients and and is only meaningful when the value is non-negative,
has similar form as the , with and as coefficients,
Hence, the correlation can be written as follows,
Direct Differentiation of the Correlation
In order to use the original correlation in BISON time iteration, the expression must be written in a differential form. A direct approach is by adopting the time derivative of the correlation,
This approach may lead to large discrepancies from the original correlation prediction when the time step is large and/or the temperature changes significantly during operation.
Effective Time Approach
To make the differential form of the correlation more consistent with the original correlation, an effective time is calculated every time step as if the temperature has been maintained at the current value since the beginning. where is the wastage thickness of the last time step, is the current temperature, can be calculated by solving the quadratic equation. Therefore, the wastage thickness of this time step is,
This approach ensures numerical consistency with the original form of the wastage thickness correlation.

# IFR-1 ASSESSMENT CASE
# BISON recreation of the 169-pin IFR-1 experiment, which was irradiated in the
# FFTF from 9/1986 to 10/1988 to a peak burnup of about 10 at%. The assessment
# consists of three generic pins (U-10Zr, U-8Pu-10Zr, and U-19Pu-10Zr) which
# are compared against all available legacy calculations and PIE measurements
# for all 169 pins in the experiment. Composition-specific values are stored in
# three '.params' files. Units are in standard SI: J, K, kg, m, Pa, s.
# For a more complete description of the experiment, see [Dodds, 1986-1],
# [Dodds, 1986-2], [Porter and Tsai, 2011], and [Tsai et al., 1986]. For a more
# complete description of development and results of this assessment, see
# [Greenquist et al., 2021].
#
# To simulate one of the cases, use the combined input file option

# 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}.
