    Abstract: A reactor of a nuclear plant encloses a core having a plurality of fuel elements and a number of control rods. Each fuel element includes a plurality of fuel rods each including a cladding and nuclear fuel enclosed in an inner space of the cladding. Each control rod is insertable to and extractable from a respective position between or in respective fuel elements to influence the effect of the reactor. A method for operating the reactor includes operating the reactor at a normal effect during a normal state, monitoring the reactor for detecting a defect on the cladding of any fuel rod, reducing the effect of the reactor after the detection of a defect, operating the reactor during a particular state during a time period during which the reactor at least during a part time is operated at the reduced effect in relation to the normal effect, and extracting the inserted control rods after the time period for continuing operation of the reactor at substantially the normal state.

    Abstract: A method of operating a nuclear reactor is disclosed. The reactor (1) encloses a core having a plurality of fuel rods (9). Each fuel rod (9) includes a cladding and fuel pellets of a nuclear fuel. The fuel pellets are arranged in an inner space of the cladding leaving a free volume comprising an upper plenum, a lower plenum and a pellet-cladding gap. The reactor is operated at a normal power and a normal inlet sub-cooling during a normal state. The reactor is monitored for detecting a defect on the cladding of any of the fuel rods. The operation of the reactor is changed to a particular state after detecting such a defect. The particular state permits an increase of the free volume in the defect fuel rod. The reactor is operated at the particular state during a limited time period, after which the reactor is operated at the normal state.

    Abstract: The invention concerns a method of producing a cladding tube for nuclear fuel for a nuclear boiling water reactor. According to the method, a tube is formed which comprises an outer cylindrical component (10) mainly containing zirconium and an inner cylindrical component (20) metallurgically bonded to the outer component (10), wherein also the inner component (20) at least mainly contains zirconium. The inner component (20) has a lower recrystallization temperature than the outer component (10). The cladding tube is final annealed at a temperature and during a time such that the inner component (20) substantially completely recrystallizes and such that the outer component (10) partly recrystallizes but to a lower extent than the inner component (20). The invention also concerns a cladding tube, a fuel assembly for a boiling water reactor as well as the use of a cladding tube.
