Objectives:
Transient testing of MYRRHA fuel for the determination of the pin failure threshold.
- Test methodology development and simulation of transient fuel behaviour.
- Design and fabrication of fuel elements and irradiation device.
- Transient tests on uranium oxide (capsule design and measurement chain validation) and MOX fuel.
- Investigation of fuel-coolant and fuel-coolant-clad interactions up to 1700°C
- Conceptual design for an experiment related to severe accident analysis of MYRRHA type fuel in the IGR reactor at NNC
