Nuclear fuel performance

fuel rod failure mode in which pellet expansion during power increases stresses the cladding and, with corrosive fission products, cracks it.

In nuclear fuel performance, pellet-cladding interaction refers to fuel rod failure mode in which pellet expansion during power increases stresses the cladding and, with corrosive fission products, cracks it. This meaning comes from Cox (1990) in Journal of Nuclear Materials.[1]
