This paper deals with the problem of measuring the VVER-1000 burnup fuel cladding temperature in a 500–900°C range in the process of experiments in a channel of the MIR research reactor to obtain data on the fuel element behavior under the influence of the parameters typical of the maximum design-basis loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). Studying the burnup fuel cladding deformation pattern requires measurements of the cladding temperature with no (thermal, mechanical and other) impacts on the cladding in the maximum deformation region. For dynamic experiments in the MIR reactor channel with fuel testing in a vapor-gas environment, a cladding temperature measuring unit has been developed, in which the cladding is not subjected to external impacts in the maximum deformation region. In the process of being installed into the spacer grid, the thermoelectric transducer (TET) has its hot junction forced against the cladding making it possible to prevent the external impact on the cladding. The thermometric characteristic of the TET attachment, which is associated with the impact of the grid as such on its thermal condition, was studied using a laboratory facility. This technique was used in an in-pile experiment to study the fuel cladding deformation pattern. |
