The M5Framatome Alloy

Course Number: TRF-TT0010-F

Fuel Academy

Understand and catch main specificities of M5Framatome, alloy (Framatome reference cladding alloy for PWR fuel) from metallurgical, transformation and manufacturing but also in-reactor behavior perspectives

Duration : 2 days
Language : FR/EN
Participants : 8-12 max.
Place : On FUEL premises

You are

• New or more experienced (technician or engineer) in the Fuel BU working in production process engineering quality in a manufacturing site or designer in Engineering department

Requirements

• General knowledge of nuclear Fuel

During training, you will

• Revisit general properties of zirconium alloys, specific requirement for PWR applications, and relationship between design and manufacturing requirements

• Discover specifities of implementation of M5Framatome alloy all along transformation and manufacturing steps from zirconium sponge to fuel assembly

• Deepen your knowledge of M5Framatome performance and in-reactor experience feedback

• Visit one Fuel site where M5Framatome is transformed or used.

After training, you will be able to

• Better understand the basement of process parameters and manufacturing requirements applicable to M5Framatome products (for manufacturers)

• Better understand manufacturing constraints generated by design requirements applicable to M5Framatome products (for designers)
