Pellet-cladding Interaction

Pellet-Cladding Interaction is a mechanical degradation phenomenon in nuclear fuel rods characterized by stress-induced deformation and potential failure at the interface between uranium dioxide fuel pellets and the surrounding zirconium-based cladding, driven by thermal expansion, irradiation-induced swelling, and fission gas pressure during reactor operation.
