Silicon carbide fuel cladding for accident tolerant fuel with zirconium coating

摘要

The present invention relates to a nuclear fuel rod cladding tube comprising a plurality of components obtained by combining a ceramic component and a metal component. Specifically, the present invention relates to a cladding tube in which a zirconium composite is deposited on a ceramic composite to form a ceramic composite having a zirconium coating. The ceramic composite material includes a ceramic base material and a plurality of ceramic fibers. The cladding effectively protects the contents of the cladding structure from high temperature environments under various reactor loading conditions. [Selection] Figure 5
