Resumo
The ferritic iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl) alloy cladding is considered to be the most promising for near-term application in the ATF framework to replace
existing zirconium alloy cladding. Although FeCrAl cladding presents several advantages, it is well known that there are at least two main drawbacks, one is the
increased thermal neutron absorption cross-section compared to the current Zr-based cladding resulting in a neutronic penalty and another is tritium higher
permeation. In the present study, the minimum allowable thickness of cladding is addressed considering neutronic penalty reduction and the mechanical-structural
behavior under the LOCA accident condition. The neutronic penalty assessment was performed using the Monte Carlo code and mechanical-structural performance of
the FeCrAl cladding using the TRANSURANUS fuel code, which was modified to consider properly the FeCrAl cladding.
