摘要: Abstract The superiority of barrier fuel over the non-barrier is verified in this paper. Based on strain energy density theory, a thorough study zirconium liner thickness cladding for various burnup conditions established. It found that presence does substantially reduce local available failure initiation and also enhance system stability. Since an extensive increase not further improve fracture strength as well stability, optimal then determined present study.
