Comparison of two kinetic approaches for modeling of radial hydride fraction in zirconium-based fuel rod cladding

Theoretical models simulating the kinetics of the radial hydride fraction in the zirconium cladding of fuel rods are developed to predict their hydride embrittlement degree and to justify the safety regimes for the storage and handling of spent nuclear fuel. Currently, there are a number of kinetic...
