As it is stated in 10 CFR 50.46 maximum clad temperature should not exceed 2200 F(1204 C)
but I have read in "Nuclear Safety" by G. Petrangelli that fissuring of the cladding starts at about 800-900 C.
I want to know the safety limit or margin for cladding in NPPs.
I could't find any regulation or standard other than those mentioend in 10 CFR ,but if fissuring starts at 800 C why the safety margin is not about 800 C?
