Reactor physics assessment of thick silicon carbide clad PWR fuels
CIVINS === High temparature tolerance, chemical stability and low neutron affinity make silicon carbide (SiC) a potential fuel cladding material that may improve the economics and safety of light water reactors (LWRs). "Thick" SiC cladding (0.089 cm.) is easier (and thus more economical)...
