A new cladding embrittlement criterion derived from ring compression tests

•Using FEM it was possible to simulate measured ring compression test data.•The FEM provides burst stresses from Zry-4, M5 and ZIRLO cladding.•The ratio of burst stresses to yield stresses was correlated.•The ratio depends linearly on the state of oxidation and hydriding.•The ratio of stresses at un...
