Neutronic parameters analysis of a PWR fuel element using silicon carbide claddings with SRAC2006/NODAL3 codes

Silicon carbide (SiC) fuel cladding has several primary advantages over zircaloy claddings. SiC cladding absorbs very low thermal neutrons, little corrosion, and no hydrogen pickup during normal operation, making it an attractive choice for use as cladding on PWR fuel. In this paper, AP1000 neutroni...
