Halden Reactor Test IFA-650.11 (PWR)

The Halden Reactor test series IFA-650 was part of the joint international programme of the Halden Reactor Project. These tests addressed the LOCA performance of high burnup fuel irradiated in commercial nuclear power plants. IFA-650.11 (VVER fuel): little ballooning and fuel fragmentation were indicated. The fuel, manufactured by JSC TVEL, was supplied by Fortum Nuclear Services Ltd (Finland). The VVER-440 fuel segment had been irradiated in the Finnish Loviisa NPP to a burnup of 56.0 MWd/kgU. The LOCA test was performed at a rod heat rating of 24 W/cm for a target peak cladding temperature (PCT) of 1273 K. The rod failed in 207 s after the start of blow-down.
