This study deals with the determination of a fracture criterion for hydrided, cold worked and stress relieved Zircaloy-4 fuel cladding tubes with hydride blister, during a reactivity initiated accident. Two types of fracture profiles were identified, depending on the temperature, thanks to a bibliographical study, mechanical tests and fracture profiles analysis : brittle fracture at 25°C, and ductile fracture at 350°C.At 25°C, brittle fracture was studied by a global analysis in elasto-plastic fracture mechanic. Numerical simulations were performed by a finite element method with the CAST3M code, based on mechanical tests on fuel cladding tubes with blisters. Crack tip J-integral calculations were carried out to identify a mean fracture tou...
