Evaluation of missing pellet surface geometry on cladding stress distribution and magnitude
Abstract
Stress concentrations are related to pellet defect geometries. The presence of radial cracks cause increases in stress concentration. Increasing the size of MPS causes an increase hoop stress concentrations.
