LOCA Burst Correlation

Description

Empirical correlations to be used in calculations of fuel behavior during loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs) in nuclear power plants. The correlations are equations that give fuel-rod cladding burst temperatures as a function of stress on the cladding, cladding heatup rate, and the cladding's hydrogen content. The stress values and heatup-rate values come from the analysts system code while the hyrogen content must be giiven to the analyst for the fuel-rod cladding under consideration.
