note = "Funding Information: This work is sponsored by the US. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy, under grant number DE-NE0008961 . Funding Information: This research project aims at investigating the thermal, mechanical, and irradiation response of Cr-coated Zr-alloy cladding under prototypical reactivity-initiated accidents (RIAs), in comparison to that of uncoated Zr-alloy cladding. This summary provides an overview of the research program funded by U.S. Department of Energy, DOE, including experimental RIA test plan using the Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT) and High-burnup Experiments in RIAs (HERA) test vehicle, fabrication of Cr-coated Zr-alloy tubes using physical vapor deposition (PVD) and cold spray deposition (CSD) methods, and the postirradiation examination (PIE) plan. The CSD process and the PVD process have been adopted by Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC) and Framatome, respectively for their accident tolerant fuel (ATF) coated cladding designs. The experimental data on the response of the fueled coated cladding systems under RIAs will provide validation of results of modeling activities that are underway for the Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF) fuel designs during reactor transients.; 2022 Transactions of the American Nuclear Society Winter Meeting and Technology Expo, ANS 2022 ; Conference date: 13-11-2022 Through 17-11-2022",
