ABSTRACT
Particle distributions obtained from individual fuel rods fragmented during rapid power bursts in the Capsule Driver Core (CDC) are shown to follow a lognormal frequency distribution in weight percent versus the particle size. The parameters for each distribution are given and their correlation with energy deposition in the fuel and with rod design are examined. Evidence is given to show that the distributions do not shift indefinitely toward smaller particle sizes with increasing energy density but approach an asymptotic distribution. The fuel rod design influences the particle distributions near the fragmentation threshold.

PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS FROM FUEL RODS FRAGMENTED DURING POWER BURST TESTS
IN THE CAPSULE DRIVER CORE
J . A. M'C CL.URE
I. INTRODUCTION
The effects of transient overpower conditions on reactor fuel have been investigated in experiments carried out in the Capsule Driver Core (CDC) as a part of the Subassembly Test Program!1] at SPERT. Results from these tests have provided information on the thresholds, mechanisms, and consequences of fuel failure in a water environment. In general, the observed consequences of failure have tended to increase in severity with increasing energy deposition in the fuel. The failure threshold is taken as the lowest energy deposition that caused the rod cladding to be breached. Failures near the threshold for unirradiated fuel were of the thermal overload (DNB) ta] type with quiescent melting of the fuel rod cladding. For energy depositions greater than about 300 cal/g of UO2, which is into the melting range of the UO2, the test fuel rods disassembled wholly or in part with the UO2 fragmenting into many small pieces. This report is concerned specifically with this latter aspect of fuel rod failure for unirradiated rods, ie, the analysis according to size of the particulate residue from the fragmented rods.
Comprehensive models of overpower conditions that include fuel failures must describe the transition region between the attainment of melting temperatures in the fuel and its dispersal into the surrounding media. The particle distributions discussed in this report represent the asymptotic state of such a dispersal and provide information for testing model predictions. Secondly, the particle distributions are one controlling factor in determining the severity of incidents involving fuel dispersal since the surface area available for interaction and, hence, reaction rates, are inversely proportional to the square of the particle diameters. The specific surface (area per unit volume) of the distributions does not increase indefinitely with energy deposition but asymptotically approaches an upper bound. This implies that rates of reactions such as heat transfer must also approach an upper bound.
Particle distributions were obtained as a function of the energy deposited in the fuel from rods of several designs. Design variations included cladding material, physical form of the fuel, enrichment, and dimensions. A summary description of each rod type is included with the particle distribution data in Appendix A. A complete description of each rod type, tests performed on the rods, and other results have been reported elsewhere [2-4].
Section II presents a discussion of the method used in measuring the particle distributions, a description of the distribution model, and a discussion of the volume -to -surface mean particle diameter. In Section III, a typical particle distribution is displayed, illustrating the method of data presentation and results.

II. CHARACTERISTICS OF PARTICLE DISTRIBUTIONS
1. MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
The particle distributions discussed in this report were generated during destructive transient irradiations (>300 cal/g of UO2) of single, zero burnup reactor fuel rods in the test space of the CDC. Following each such irradiation, the fragmented remains of the rod were collected from the containment capsule and sifted through a set of standard Tyler ta] sieves. Since the rod fragments were already immersed in a water media, a wet sieving technique was used in which the particles were washed, rather than shaken, through the series of sieves stacked according to increasing sieve size. The material remaining on each screen was then dried and weighed, providing a differential weight versus particle size distribution for the fragments.
Normally, eight sieves ranging in mesh opening from 1.7 to 312 mils were used to separate the fragments into the discrete groups. All fragments larger than 312 mils were excluded from the distribution analyses since these pieces were primarily the fuel rod end plugs and possibly other irregularly shaped nonparticle-like fragments. In certain cases, one or more of the groups having the largest diameter particles were also excluded from the analysis because either the group contained a considerable amount of material whose origin was not the fuel rod, or the group contained an insufficient number of particles to provide a good estimate of the group weight. A good estimate of the weight of a group requires a sufficient number of particles in the group such that each particle contributes only a small percentage to the total group weight. Usually there were a sufficient number of particles in each group to provide a good estimate of the group weight. However, in some instances, there were few particles in the largest diameter group; this led to some doubt as to whether the measured group weight was truely representative of the group and whether the data from this group should or should not be included in the analysis. The retention of such a group was determined by performing the analysis with and without the particular group. The particular group was retained if its inclusion did not significantly alter the results of the analysis.
In general, the total weight of the fragments recovered from the containment capsule was less than the original rod weight and the difference varied from test to test. Mechanisms contributing to this variation in recoverable weight were: (a) plate-out and freezing of molten or vaporized material on the containment capsule and/or the fuel rod support structure, (b) changes in the stoichiometry of the UO2, (c) formation of metal oxides during cl adding-water reactions, and (d) fragmented instrument leads and portions of the support structure which were included in the residue. For this last mechanism, corrections to the group weight were applied only if the group contained a clearly identifiable object of known weight. In general, the effects of these four mechanisms on the particle size distribution could not be estimated quantitatively.

2. PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION MODEL
A review of the literature [aJ on the fracture of (usually) crystalline materials [5,6] indicated that the number of particles produced of a given diameter versus the diameter of the particles is generally distributed in a log-normal manner for those materials in which the direction of successive fractures is randomly oriented with respect to the crystal axes. More precisely, the probability of a particle having a diameter within the range y to y + dy is a gaussian or normal function of particle diameter and is given by
dy = 7s/5¥ exp [“^lo§e y " m)2/2s2] dy (!)
where
y = particle diametern(y)dy = number of particles in size range y to y + dy
N = total number of particles2S = estimator of the variance of the distribution of log y©
m ~ estimator of the mean of the distribution of log y.©
The distribution mean, m, is_also the natural logarithm of the most probable particle size y, ie, m = loge y. Equation (1) is known as the frequency function for log-normal distribution.
Equation (1) could not be fitted directly to the particle data from the fragmented fuel rods because (a) it relates the number of particles to particle diameters, whereas the sieve analyses yielded weight versus particle diameter range; and (b) the definition of the distribution by a small number (< 8) of groups made ambiguous the proper selection of a representative diameter for each group to use in the fitting procedure.
In general, weight distributions and number distributions do not obey the same probability distribution law, making the transition from one to the other difficult. However, the log-normal distribution has the property that all moments of the number distribution [of which weight is the third moment, ie, w(y) is proportional to y3 n(y)] are also distributed in a log-normal manner. Hence, we can immediately replace n(y) in Equation (1) with w(y) and N by W, where
w(y)dy = weight of particles in the size range y to y + dyW = total weight in distribution.
The parameters, m and S^, can be reinterpreted as the mean and variance estimators, respectively, of the weight distribution of log y.
The data were fit to a distribution function (integral to the frequency function) rather than to the frequency function itself. In this technique, only the end points of the range of particle diameters within each group entered into the analysis. These end points were determined by the sieve openings and there was

no necessity for selecting representative particle diameters for each group. Additional improvements in the fitting technique realized by using the distribution function were less manipulation of the raw data and the use of all the information available. In a frequency analysis, no frequency could be assigned to the group passing the smallest sieve opening since its size range was undefined. This group could not, therefore, be included in such an analysis. No such problem existed in using the distribution function.

In order for Equation (2) to represent a probability distribution, its value summed over all values oft < c°) must be unity (100 if data are in percent).This constraint is simply a normalization of the data but one which could be applied only after the parameters in Equation (2) were determined. Hence, the weight data for each size group were first normalized to a percentage of the total weight in the measured distribution and the three parameters, ot, g, and m, treated as independent variables to determine the shape (3) and displacement (m) of the gaussian curve.

3. MEAN PARTICLE DIAMETER
During the previous discussion the characteristic length associated with the particles has been referred to as “diameter”. This term requires more explication since the word “diameter” is precisely understood only in reference to shapes having circular cross sections, whereas particles produced by fragmentation are generally of an irregular shape. A complicating factor in making a
5
suitable definition of diameter for such particles is that the method of measurement influences to some extent the outcome of the measurement. Hence, both the working definition and measurement prescription must be given.
Sieving is a member of the class of size measurements based on the principle of geometric similarity. In this method, particles whose projected areas or whose three -dimens ional forms are of the same magnitude, are said to be of the same size. The diameter is then defined as an average measure of the distance across particles of the same size assuming they are resting in a position of stability. In sieving, the particles present themselves to the sieve openings in relatively stable positions and the particle diameters are determined from the sieve apertures. The maximum diameter of particles passing through a given sieve is defined to be the same as that of spheres which just pass through the apertures.
Additional quantities related to shape that are relevant to the particle distributions are volume (weight) and surface area. For individual particles, these quantities can be related by shape factors to the cube and square, respectively, of the particle diameter. It has been found empirically that these shape factors remain sensibly constant for all particles in a distribution consisting of the same material, thus permitting the definition of an average particle shape for the distribution. Thus, the interchange ability of numbers and weight as a means of describing the particle distributions, as was done in Section B, is justified not only from the mechanics of the assumed distribution law but also because of the constancy of the particle shape.
The existence of an average particle shape also makes possible a meaningful definition of a characteristic or mean particle diameter for the ensemble. This quantity can be defined in several ways, depending upon which aspect of the distribution is being emphasized. The definition selected for the distributions discussed in this report was the surf ace -are a-weighted size often referred to as the volume-to-surface mean diameter. This quantity is defined for a discrete distribution by the following equation
dsv

n. r
i(3)
where
dj = diameter of particle in ith groupn. = number of particles in ith group 21
f (d.) = function relating average surface area of a particle in ith group to particle diameter.
The volume -to -surf ace mean diameter has the dual property that shape factors do not appear explicitly in its definition, and secondly, that it is inversely proportional to the surface area per unit volume of the distribution. This latter quantity is known as the specific surface.
6
Combining the log-normal distribution function given by Equation (2) with Equation (3) leads to the following expression for the volume -to-surf ace mean diameter in terms of the distribution parameters:

A complete derivation of Equation (4) from Equation (3) is given in Appendix B.
The total surface area of the particles in a distribution can be obtained from the mean diameter, dgv, if some assumptions are made about the magnitude of the shape factors. The relation between the area and the mean diameter is given by

IV. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
Data from the analysis of each particle distribution are summarized in Table I. Included are the rod number; type of cladding; the energy deposition; the mean, variance, and most probable particle diameter of the fitted distribution function; the volume-to-surface mean diameter; and the goodness- of-fit criterion.
Fuel rod design variations (eg, fuel form, cladding material, length, enrichment) were expected to affect the posttest particle distributions. The number of tests performed for each of six designs was insufficient to draw general conclusions related to the effects of design variations; however, the distribution data qualitatively indie ate that:
(1) Measured distributions were independent of fuel form (powder or pellet).
(2) Ensembles having the smallest variance, or spread, in the particle size range were those from short rods in which the fuel was heated uniformly over its length and for which the cladding material did not form composite particles with the UC>2. These ensembles were from the SPXMG rods with glass cladding and the SPXM rods in which essentially all the Zircaloy-2 cladding reacted with the water. Deviations from these conditions increased the variance of the resulting distributions as indicated for both the SPX and GEX-SL ensembles.
(3) Metal cladding, if unoxidized, also tended to increase the mean size as well as the variance of the particle distributions. Examination of particles from these ensembles showed that cladding and UC^ particles had formed larger composite particles. At higher energies, where essentially all of the cladding reacted with the water, the metal oxides and UO2 did not form any composite particles.
(4) Decreasing the enrichment, thereby flattening the radial fission density profile, tended to shift the particle distributions to smaller particle sizes for a given average energy deposition, as indicated by the GEX data.
The goodness-of-fit criterion in Table I was derived from the value of chi-square for the distributions and indicated how well the data are described by the theoretical distribution mode. Specifically, the criterion is the probability in percent that another sample drawn at random from the parent distribution would have a larger value of chi-square than the given distribution. For a given number of degrees-of-freedom, sufficiently large values of chi-square lead to the rejection of the hypothesis that the data follow the assumed distribution law. A reasonable rejection level for the type of data contained in this report is say, 10%, which implies that if the goodness-of-fit criteria are less than 10%, the distribution law does not adequately describe the data. As shown in Table I, only one of the distributions fell into this c ategory,

ie, that from Rod SPXM-C-554^. All of the other distributions had goodness- of-fit probabilities exceeding 55%. We pan therefore conclude that:
The particle ensembles obtained from the thermal fracture of reactor fuel rods containing zero-burnup UO2 follow a lognormal distribution law in common with the residue from fracture of other brittle materials.
A second characteristic common to all the distributions was their trend toward smaller particle sizes with increasing energy deposition in the fuel. This trend is clearly shown by the volume-to-surface mean diameters in Table I, as well as the most probable sizes, particularly when the data from similar rod types are examined. The trend is illustrated graphic ally in Figure 3, which shows the volume-to-surface mean diameter as a function of energy deposition. The data in Figure 3 also indie ate that the trend toward smaller particle sizes does not continue indefinitely but asymptotically approaches a mean diameter of about 5 mils. This asymptotic behavior is consistent with brittle fracture theory, which implies that the probability of fracturing a [a]
[a] This distribution contained a significant amount of weight in one group in excess of that predicted by the distribution function. It is possible that the sieve analysis was in error by not getting an adequate separation of the fine particles. Based on this assumption, the three groups having the smallest particle sizes were pooled and the data refitted to the log-normal distribution. The goodness-of-fit probability for the pooled data was 96%.

particle decreases rapidly with particle size. Finally, therefore, it may be concluded that:
The mean particle diameter of the residue resulting from the thermal fracture of zero-burnup UO2 fuel rods does not decrease indefinitely as a function of energy deposition, but asymptotically approaches a lower limit of about 5 mils at energy depositions exceeding about 500 cal/g of UOg.

APPENDIX ATEST DATA' AND PARTICLE DISTRIBUTIONS
Particle distributions were obtained for four basic fuel rod designs. The characteristics of each design are presented in Table A-I. The experimental sieve screen data, the frequency histograms, and the fitted gaussian functions for each rod analyzed are presented in this appendix.
1. GEX RODS
Fragments from five GEX rods were analyzed. Three had an active fuel length of about 5.2 in. and the other two had an active fuel length of about 24.2 in. One each of the short and long rods contained powder fuel; the others contained pellet fuel. Distribution data, frequency histograms, and fitted gaussian functions are given in Figures A-l through A-10.
The powder rods were fabricated with UO2 powder of the following size distribution:
Size Range Percent of(mils) Fuel Weight<1.7 20
5.9 - 8.3 1533 - 47 65
The posttest particle distributions obtained from the above rods are shown in Figures A-7 and -9, respectively. Theseparticleshad a considerably different size distribution than did the original powder and were essentially indistinguishable from distributions obtained from rods containing UO2 pellets. The foreign material evident on screens 42, 24, and 12 in Figure A-9 is mainly A-LP [a] ceramic cement which coated a stainless steel screen surrounding the fuel rod. Because of the relatively large difference in density between the cement and UO2, the effect of the cement on the distribution data is small.
2. SPXM RODS
Distributions were analyzed for five SPXM rods. The distribution data, frequency histograms, and fitted gaussian functions are shown in Figures A-ll through -20. The larger fragments were removed from the first three distributions prior to screening.
[a] A-LP (Type A, low porosity Astroceran) is the trade name of a Zr02- ZrSiOq base, high temperature cement manufactured by the American Thermocatalytic Corporation.
19
3. SPXMG RODS
Particle distributions for five SPXMG rods and an unclad stack of pellets in an alumina crucible were analyzed. The results are given in Figures A-21 through -32. Only particle groups with sizes smaller than 55.5 mils were analyzed. The larger groups were comprised mostly of glass and alumina. 4
4. SPX RODS
Nine particle distributions were analyzed from SPX rods. Results are presented in Figures A-34 through -50. Particles larger than 223 mils were excluded from the distributions shown in Figures A-39 and -43 because of extraneous debris. The spring weight was subtracted from the particle weight on the No. 3-1/2 screen in Figure A-41. The low weight fraction collected on the No. 80 screen in Figure A-45 caused convergence difficulties in the fitting technique. This was overcome by pooling the particles from the No. 170, 80, and 42 screens.

APPENDIX BPARTICLE DISTRIBUTION MODEL
1. CHI-SQUARE MINIMUM FITTING METHOD
In order to arrive at a “best” set of values for the adjustable parameters in an overdetermined system, some assumptions must be made about the errors associated with each measurement. Different assumptions lead, generally, to different criteria for quantitatively defining “best”. In particular, the method of least-squares is based on the assumptions that the errors in each measurement are normally distributed and that all the errors are statistically independent of each other. Kottler [a] has shown that this latter assumption is invalid for distributions such as those considered in this report since the weight percent in each particle group is a fraction of the total rather than being drawn independently. Hence, if 8 j is the error in the ith weight percent, Wj, then
I. 5. = 0 (B-l)
since
Ei Wi = 100 (B-2)
before normalization. Kottler then developed the chi-square minimum method which includes Equation (B-l) as a constraint on the system in addition to the P parameters in the fitting function. Hence, the number of degrees -of-freedom for this method with N data points is
D. F. = N - P - 1. (B-3)The quantity which is minimized in the chi-square minimum method is
defined as2
X Ei 6i/fi (B-4)
where
§., = calculated wt% in group i - measured wt% in group i L = calculated wt% in group i.

where = jth parameter.
Assuming the ratio Sj/fi« 2 leads to the set of equations
z 0. (B-6)
If the above assumption is not true, then the value will be large, indicating a poor fit to the data. Since the unknown function, fj, appears in both numerator and denominator of Equation (B-6), a nonlinear fitting technique was required to solve the system of equations. Consequently the function, fj, was expanded as a Taylor series in the unknown parameters and truncated after the first order terms. This system of equations could then be solved uniquely for the parameter corrections and iterated upon to arrive at the converged solution, provided the iterations converged. Within its region of convergence, the Taylor series iterations converge rapidly, but if the initial estimates of the parameter values are grossly in error or if the error surface in parameter space is highly irregular, then the method may not converge and another technique is required. This latter difficulty was encountered with a few of the particle distributions.
The alternate approach^ used in these cases was a variational one in which the quantity gj as defined by

was varied. This method was iterated Taylor series was located.

2. DERIVATION OF MEAN PARTICLE DIAMETER
Particles derived from fracture of brittle materials are often of an irregular shape. For such particles, the size must be defined in a consistent manner, and a prescription given for obtaining related quantities (surface area, volume, etc). The particle distributions discussed in this report were obtained by sieve analysis where the sieve mesh size is given as the diameter of spheres which will just pass through the apertures. It has been found that the ratios V/d^ and S/d^ where
V - average volume of particles of size d S = average surface area of particles of size d d = size of particle
[a] W. H. Southwell, “Fitting Experimental Data”, Journal of Computational Physics, 4, pp 465-474 (1969).
76
are approxim ately constant for irregularly shaped particles of the same material. Hence, these ratios can be used to define volume and surface shape factors,Yv andys; ie,
Yv =V, = S/d2.
The mean size for the ensemble can be defined a number of ways, depending upon which aspect of the distribution is being emphasized. Possible definitions are number-averaged mean size, surface-area-weighted size, weight-averaged size, etc. The definition selected for calculating the mean particle size of the distributions discussed in this report was the surface -are a-we ighte d size often referred to as the volume -to -surface diameter. This quantity is defined as
dsvE. d. f (d.) n.i i s i i
E. f (d?) n. x s i i(B-8)
where
d^ = particle diameter of ith groupn. = number of particles in ith group 21
f (d.) = surface area of particle in ith group.S 1
The mean diameter is related to the frequency function given in Equation (1) as follows. Let
w(y)dy = weight percent in size interval y to y + dy
n(y)dy = number percent or probability of a particle having diameter between y and y + dy.
Then
w(y)dy = fv(y3) n(y)dy (B-9)
or
n(y)dy = - W *(7^7100 p fv(y3)
where
p = density of material 3
f (y ) = volume of particleW = total weight of particles.
As a continuous function, Equation (B-8) becomes^/yfg (y2) n(y)dy
SV /fs(y2) n(y)dy
77
Substituting Equation (B-9) for n(y)dy gives
/yfs (y ) w w(y)
100 p fv(y3)
sv/f (y ) W w(y)

100 p f (yj)

Introducing the shape factor discussed above, ie, assuming that
fs(y2) = V2
, , 3. 3fv(y > = v
gives finally
/ (y)dy
sv /7 w(y)dy(B-10)
The integration is carried out to the maximum particle size. Equation (B-10) is the continuous equivalent of the Sauter Mean Diameter quoted for TREAT (ANL) particle distributions CaJ.
Equation (B-10) can be integrated directly by substituting in the frequency function for the particle sizes expressed in the real size domain. Converting the frequency function into the particle size domain can be accomplished through the distribution function, Equation (2), and the rule for an integral of a function of a function. Let
x = loge y
where y = particle diameter (mils).

APPENDIX C
CHI-SQUARE FITTING PROGRAM
This appendix contains the instructions for using the Chi-Square Fitting Program used to obtain the distribution parameters in this report. The complete 360 FORTRAN listing is included. Four data card groups are required and, depending upon the amount of information available about the distribution, a fifth data group may be added. Several problems can be run consecutively, each problem requiring a complete data set. The end of the data is signaled by a card having END in Columns 5-8.
Data Type 1 (I1,I3,19A4)
Column1 (LC0N)
4 (NUM)
5-80
Column
Data Type 2 (8F10.6)
Screen Sizes
Data Type 3 (8F10.6)
Particle weights in grams or percent in order corresponding to the above screen sizes as the upper size limit.Ex: Weight in pan has smallest screen as its upper size limit.
Data Type 4 (I5,5X,2F10.6)
Column Data5 Weighting Factor Control
-1 - Unity Weighting FactorStandard Least-Squares Fit
0 - Weighting Factor = l/Frequency 21 - Weighting Factor = 1/ (Frequency)2 - Weighting Factor = l/wt%

DataInitial Estimate for Parameter Values0 value - program calculates values1 - initial values read in
program iterates2 - initial values read in
no normalization
Number of data points in distribution negative value implies weights given in percent, not grams
TitleTitle will fit graphics if restricted to Column 5-44.
In ascending order until list is complete
83
11-20 (VGINT)
21-30 (VC0R)
Data Type 5 (3F10.6)
Weight percent sum if different from 100
Maximum fractional magnitude allowed for correction vectors. Program uses 0.1 if none given.
Use only if LC0N >0
Estimates of Gaussian Parameters - ALPHA, BETA, M.
In addition to the printed output, plots of both frequencies and distribution functions can be obtained. These plots can be obtained either on paper or microfilm by designating the proper device in the JCL statements.

APPENDIX DPARTICLE DISTRIBUTION FROM FIVE-ROD CLUSTER

APPENDIX DPARTICLE DISTRIBUTION FROM FIVE-ROD CLUSTER
The particle data from a destructive test in the CDC involving a five-rod cluster of SPXM rods [a3 became available after this report was written. These data were considered of sufficient importance to warrant their inclusion here not only because they are the only particle data available from rod clusters but also because they represent a composite ensemble from rods receiving different energy depositions.
The cluster was of an open lattice type and had a pitch (center-to-center spacing) of 0.328 inch and a ratio of pitch-to-diameter of approximately 1.3. The center rod in the cluster received an energy deposition of 315 cal/g of UO2 and each of the four outer rods received 383 cal/g. All five rods failed during the test and a sieve analysis was made of the debris. The data from this experiment are presented in the same format as the data in Appendix A except that a photograph of particle ensemble is not given. The goodness-of-fit probability for this distribution was 99.9% and the volume-to-surface mean diameter 25.2 mils.
As discussed in Section IV of this report, the rod design parameters were of sufficient importance in determining the details of the particle distributions that only those ensembles from rods of similar design followed any consistent pattern. An interesting hypothesis, and one that would be quite important if it could be proven, is that the effects on the resultant particle ensembles attributable to each of the design parameters are separable. Ensembles could then be constructed which represented the composite interaction of all parameters. The excellent fit to the log-normal distribution obtained for this ensemble from a five- rod cluster gives support to this hypothesis. Considerably more analysis and probably more data will be required to establish such a hypothesis.
