Influence of a periodic latency time on the impact/sliding wear damage of two PWR control rods and guide cards specimens

In nuclear power plants (PWR), the rod cluster control assemblies (RCCAs) can be damaged by impact-sliding wear due to flow-induced vibrations which generate contacts with their guidance devices (RCC guide tube) inside the reactor pressure vessel. Two localized impact/sliding wear tests have been pe...
