Record 1 2021-01-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
  • Nuclear Plant Safety
CONT

The main areas of expertise within the [laboratory] are fission-product release from fuel under postulated accident conditions including fuel oxidation in air or steam environments, fuel sheath strain and failure testing, and fuel bundle deformation. The experiments conducted in the laboratory provide data for understanding fuel behaviour under accident conditions...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Études et analyses environnementales
  • Sûreté des centrales nucléaires
CONT

Les principaux domaines d'expertise du [laboratoire] sont les rejets de produits de fission durant des accidents hypothétiques, notamment l'oxydation du combustible en présence d'air ou de vapeur, les essais de déformation et de rupture des gaines de combustible et la déformation des grappes de combustible. Les essais effectués dans ce laboratoire génèrent des données qui permettent de comprendre comment le combustible se comporterait pendant un accident […]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
DEF

A sealed envelope used to hold nuclear fuel, allowing the containment of nuclear materials and protecting fuel against chemical damage from heating fluid.

CONT

Fuel failure means any rupture of the fuel sheath such that fission products may be released.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
DEF

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Science and Technology
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

The analysis of all events leading to calculated fuel sheath failure shall assume the maximum steam generator tube leakage for which continued reactor operation is permitted.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences et techniques nucléaires
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

L'analyse de tous les événements qui détermine le nombre de ruptures de gaine doit se faire en supposant une fuite maximale des tubes du générateur de vapeur pour laquelle l'arrêt du réacteur n'est pas requis.
