Record 1 2016-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Nuclear Plant Safety
  • Radiation Protection
DEF

A can which resists the pressure of the coolant without being supported by the fuel.

CONT

The fuel cladding can be designed to be collapsible or free standing when subjected to the coolant operating pressure. Free standing cladding can undergo long term deformation (creep deformation) under external pressure, leading to a decrease in the radial gap between the cladding and fuel.

OBS

free-standing cladding: term and definition standardized by ISO in 1997.

OBS

free-standing cladding: term extracted from the “Glossaire de l’énergie nucléaire” and reproduced with permission of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
  • Sûreté des centrales nucléaires
  • Radioprotection
DEF

Gaine résistant à la pression du liquide de refroidissement sans prendre appui sur le combustible.

OBS

gaine libre : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO en 1997.

OBS

gaine libre; gaine autoporteuse : termes extraits du «Glossaire de l’énergie nucléaire» et reproduits avec l’autorisation de l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques.

Record 2 - external organization data 2011-05-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiation Protection
  • Nuclear Power Stations
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
DEF

An external layer of material applied, usually to a nuclear fuel, to provide protection from a chemically reactive environment, to provide containment of radioactive products produced during the irradiation of the composite, or to provide structural support.

OBS

Aluminium or its alloys, magnesium alloys, stainless steel and zirconium alloys are common cladding materials.

OBS

can; cladding: terms standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radioprotection
  • Centrales nucléaires
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
DEF

Couche extérieure de matière appliquée directement sur un combustible nucléaire ou une autre substance qui assure sa protection contre un milieu ambiant chimiquement réactif et retient les produits radioactifs élaborés durant l'irradiation du composé. [Définition normalisée par l'ISO.]

OBS

Elle peut aussi constituer un élément de structure.

OBS

gaine; gaine libre : termes normalisés par l'ISO.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Protección contra la radiación
  • Centrales nucleares
  • Compartimiento - Comisión Canadiense de Seguridad Nuclear
DEF

Cartucho, tubo que se pone como funda a las barras de combustible nuclear en los reactores.

CONT

Hay tres barreras principales para prevenir la liberación de los productos de la fisión. La primera barrera es el revestimiento metálico. Las píldoras de combustible de uranio se ubican dentro de este revestimiento y se acomodan en patrones específicos en el centro. Durante la operación normal, los productos de la fisión son atrapados dentro de los cilindros de combustible, pero, si se acumula demasiado calor en el centro, el revestimiento metálico del combustible se puede romper o fisurar y se liberan productos de fisión como gases nobles, yodo y cesio radiactivos.
