Abstract

This volume of the report contains the following information on test conditions and basic procedures used to develop the data base:

  • objects and conditions of the IGR reactor tests;
  • test parameters of fuel rods before, during and after the RIA tests;
  • parameters of fuel rods during RIA tests calculated by FRAP-T6 and SCANAIR computer codes;
  • measured mechanical properties of Zr-1%Nb cladding obtained due to special tests;
  • parameters of Zr-1%Nb cladding failure of the ballooning type measured under the burst test conditions;
  • input data with original material properties of Zr-1%Nb cladding for the MATPRO package and SCANAIR code.
