MetallicFuelLiquidCladdingPenetration
Computes loss of cladding thickness due to the liquid penetration into cladding during power transients.
Description
MetallicFuelLiquidCladdingPenetration finds the liquid penetration depth into the cladding near the fuel cladding interface in metallic fuels used in sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) under off-normal conditions. SFR metallic fuel usually adopts a binary (U-10Zr) or ternary (U-10Zr-xPu) fuel slug and a austenitic (316SS or D9) or martensitic (HT9) steel cladding. Thus, U and Pu in fuel tends to metallurgically interact with the stainless steel cladding. During steady-state operation, such interaction is solid-state in nature and can be handled by MetallicFuelWastage. On the other hand, at the elevated temperatures during off-normal transients, the interaction is dominated by liquid phase penetrating the stainless steel cladding, which would weaken the cladding enclosure and even compromise the fuel pin's integrity. Therefore, this phenomenon is one of the major causes of fuel failure at elevated temperature during power transients.
The IFR legacy single-parameter correlation (Tsai, 1990), established from Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) fuel behavior test apparatus (FBTA) EBR-II fuel/cladding eutectic test data available during its development period, is implemented to estimate eutectic liquid penetration rates. This bounding correlation is activated at a fixed threshold temperature of 700 °C. Also implemented is a set of improved correlations for evaluating eutectic liquid penetration under transient conditions, which have been recently developed, leveraging the OPTD (Shu et al., 2024). The OPTD, with over 150 records from ANL FBTA EBR-II/FFTF fuel/cladding eutectic tests, helps validate and refine these correlations for better model alignment with experimental results. The tested fuel/cladding combinations cover U-26Pu-10Zr/316SS, U-19Pu-10Zr/HT9, U-19Pu10Zr/D9, U-10Zr/HT9, U-10Zr/D9 and U-10Zr/316SS. The burnup values of these fuel specimens range from 3 to 17 atomic percent. The selected tests are of the constant-temperature type; the temperature and duration of the tests range from 620 to 850C and 5 minutes to 32 hours, respectively. Fuel- and burnup-dependent threshold temperatures were used in this set of correlations.
Forms of the Correlation
Based on the available experiments, it was concluded that there exist an onset temperature of approximately 700 725C for liquid cladding penetration. When the temperature is lower than the onset temperature, no liquid penetration was observed. On the other hand, if the temperature exceeds the onset temperature, liquid penetration is activated and the penetration rate follows the Arrhenius law. That is, the linear penetration rate ( in m/s) is dependent on the temperature with the following form:
(1)| Parameter | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
| n.a. | Coefficient | |
| K | Activation energy | |
| K | Onset temperature |
The Eq. (1) assumes a linear growth kinetics for the liquid cladding penetration phenomenon. Recently detailed data analysis unveils that a parabolic kinetics matches the experimental data better, which has the following form as the temperature exceeds the onset temperature ():
(2)or,
(3)where C(T) is a temperature-dependent constant.
To make the definition of kinetic models consistent, as the majority of the experimental data were collected for a one-hour duration, it is assumed that both kinetics expressions should predict the same penetration depth at 1 hour.
(4)Therefore,
(5)Eq. (5) allows using of a consistent set of coefficients (, , and ) for both linear and parabolic kinetic form. Users have option to specify which kinetic form to use through "kinetic_model".
Legacy IFR Correlation by Tsai et al. (Tsai, 1990)
During the IFR program, the parameters were empirically fit based on the results of over fifty aforementioned FBTA experiment tests (Tsai, 1990). A summary of the correlation compared with representative test results can be found in Figure 1. It is clear that the empirical correlation provides a conservative estimate of the liquid phase penetration kinetics covering a variety of cladding and fuel compositions. The IFR legacy single-parameter correlation can be selected by choosing TSAI in "liquid_penetration_model". The model is a general model that does not distinguish Pu content and burnup effects. The default kinetic model to use this model is LINEAR.

Figure 1: The liquid penetration correlation compared with the FBTA test results (Tsai, 1990).
Recently Developed Model
Tsai et al.'s IFR legacy single-parameter correlation was developed during the FBTA projects, with additional tests and in-depth analyses conducted after its establishment. The enriched data set, along with detailed experimental notes, has been integrated into the OPTD. This facilitates the development of new correlations that differentiate between different fuels and, to a limited extent, burnup. Two types of correlations were developed: the least-squares fitting correlation and the conservative correlation. The former aims to provide a more accurate estimation of experimental data, while the latter is designed to be an upper bound of the experiments. Notably, both types of correlations share the same activation energy. The new ANL correlations can be selected by choosing ANL_LS and ANL_CONSERVATIVE in "liquid_penetration_model". A comparison between the legacy and updated correlation using binary fuel as an example can be found in Figure 2.
As the correlations are fuel- and burnup-dependent, users are also required to provide the information of initial Pu content in the fuel and the burnup through "fuel_pu" and "burnup". More description and performance of the updated correlation can be found in the reference that reports its development(Shu et al., 2024).
The default kinetic model to use this model is PARABOLIC.

Figure 2: The improvements made by the recent updated correlation.
Axial Effective Region
The liquid penetration should only occur in the region where fuel and cladding are both present and in contact. Thus, the calculation of this phenomenon should be disable in the axial positions without fuel in presence. To achieve this, the axial range where the fuel is in presence can be provided manually using "fuel_bottom_position" and "fuel_height". Any axial location from fuel_bottom_position to fuel_bottom_position + fuel_height is considered to have fuel present. Alternatively, if the mesh is generated by FIPDRodletMeshGenerator, the axial range can be obtained through the mesh metadata by provide "mesh_generator".
Additionally, as fuel length is subject to change during irradiation or out-of-pile furnace experiments, the axial effective region is also affected by this phenomenon. To capture this, users have an option to provide a postprocessor ("fuel_elongation_pp") that tracks the displacement of the fuel's top surface. Axial locations with fuel present will be from fuel_bottom_position to fuel_bottom_position + fuel_height + fuel_elongation_pp.
Melting Fuel
During the liquid cladding penetration procedure, the fuel also experiences melting. This MetallicFuelLiquidCladdingPenetration has a few correlations to calculate the thickness of the melting fuel zone from the outer surface of the fuel, which can be activated by "calculate_fuel_melting_thickness". The correlation options are as follows.
User Provided Ratio
The simplest correlation assumes a fixed fuel-to-cladding liquid volume ratio, which can be selected by setting "fuel_melting_model" as USER_PROVIDED_FACTOR. The ratio can be manually set through "fuel_to_cladding_melting_ratio", which should be based on empirical or mechanistic deduction.
Empirical Temperature/Pu/Burnup Dependent Correlations
A more complex set of empirical correlations were recently developed based on FBTA data, which can be selected by setting "fuel_melting_model" as INTRINSIC. Based on the trends shown in the FBTA data, the fuel-to-cladding melting ratio is fuel- and burnup-dependent. Similar to the cladding penetration correlations, the information of initial Pu content in the fuel and the burnup are required through "fuel_pu" and "burnup".
The empirical correlations are based on U-Pu-Fe ternary phase diagrams with correction factors to account for complexity in kinetics. The details can be found in the following reference (Miao et al., 2024). The correlations have the following form,
(6)where is the U-to-Fe weight ratio as derived from the U-rich side of the liquidus curves on the U-Fe(0Pu), U-Fe(19Pu) and U-Fe(26Pu) phase diagrams, respectively (see Figure 3), is the correction factor for the U/Fe ratio, and is the volume factor accounts for the fact that the fuel contains Pu and Zr in addition to U. The values of and for various Pu compositions and burnup levels are listed in Table 1.

Figure 3: The liquidus curve for U-Pu-Zr system with 0, 19, and 26 wt.% Pu content.
Table 1: and values for different Pu and burnup conditions.
| Pu Content | Burnup | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 wt.% | No Dependence | 0.61 | 2.3 |
| 19 wt.% | 7 at.% | 0.40 | 3.0 |
| 19 wt.% | 7 at.% | 0.50 | 3.0 |
| 26 wt.% | No Dependence | 0.90 | 3.3 |
The performance of the correlations is evaluated using the experiment results of the FBTA tests, as shown in Figure 4. The predictions of the correlations are generally conservative and consistent with the experimental observation.
