Design and evaluation of an innovative LWR fuel combined dual-cooled annular geometry and SiC cladding materials
Dual-cooled annular fuel allows a significant increase in power density while maintaining or improving safety margins. However, the dual-cooled design brings much higher Zircaloy charge in reactor core, which could cause a great threaten of hydrogen explosion during severe accidents. Hence, an innov...
