US lab adds real-time visual tracking to nuclear accident testing

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have added real-time visual tracking to their nuclear accident simulation equipment. By installing a camera window into a specialized furnace wall, scientists use digital image correlation to measure fuel cladding deformation as it happens.  This is the first time researchers have captured these physical changes visually during a simulated loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). The severe accident te…
