Abstract: This presentation provides recent results related to the mechanical behavior of Zircaloy cladding for the Light Water Reactor Fuels Workshop/CRAFT Initiative Update presented by the Advanced Fuels Campaign. This presentation focuses on Zircaloy cladding response to pellet-cladding interactions and how mechanical anisotropy makes the cladding sensitive to the testing mode. Results are compared to existing material models used by BISON, and implications for reactor performance are briefly discussed.
