Influence of hydrogen concentration on burst parameters of Zircaloy-4 cladding tube under simulated loss-of-coolant accident

Single-tube burst tests on hydrogenated Zircaloy-4 nuclear fuel cladding under simulated loss-of-coolant accident are conducted to evaluate the impact of hydrogen on burst parameters. The heating rate and initial pressure are varied from 5 K/s to 150 K/s and 5 bar–80 bar, respectively. The hydrogen...
