NFDC (Nuclear Fuel and materials Data Center) developed standard reference data for oxidation of HANA-6 cladding material. Thermo-gravimetric analyzer (TGA) was used to measure oxidation, and the measuring device was self-calibrated using standard materials. The oxidation amount of the HANA6 cladding was measured in an oxidizing atmosphere in the temperature range of 400 to 700°C. Through this, oxidation data, oxidation rate model equation, and graph were developed. The uncertainty factors were analyzed from the oxidation model. The expanded uncertainty of oxidation data was calculated by evaluating the uncertainty for each uncertainty factor. The oxidation data produced in this study was self-rated through deliberation by a specialized committee of NFDC and third experts. It was finally registered as a reference standard through the technical committee of the National Reference Standards Center. It is believed that the standard reference data developed in this study will be helpful for increasing reliability and stability evaluation of nuclear fuel and spent fuel.
