AbstractExperimental results using environmental SEM on intentionally defected fuel particles showed that oxidation induced cracking could lead to the degradation of HTR coated particles. The interpretation proposed for the swelling resulting from cracking can be extended to irradiated nuclear fuels. That is why a new criterion was proposed to defined safe handling of defective fuel in dry storage condition. This criterion defines the time needed to create an oxidized layer thickness leading to significant cracking.
