[en] PCI related phenomena have been investigated at VTT and novel models have been developed for their study. As standard creep models do not accurately model stress reversals and reductions, new transient creep model with the anelastic creep component has been developed. The model accurately predicts creep behaviour during stress reversals. Accurate modelling of creep is required for the determination of cladding stresses during pellet-cladding interaction. The chemical behaviour of the fuel pellet-cladding gap has also been investigated with a new thermochemical model including radiolysis. As caesium iodide is unreactive towards the cladding, its radiolysis may contribute to the amount of corrosive iodine on the cladding inner surface, and cause stress-corrosion cracking. In addition, missing pellet surface defects have been investigated with the BISON fuel performance code with a simplified model, and capacity to model such phenomena at VTT has increased. (author)
