Experiments to predict the thermal contact conductance between the fuel pellet and cladding have been performed, which is important to determine the temperature distibution within the fuel rod. UO$_2$and Zircaloy-2 are used in these experiments. The measuring apparatus is composed of a presser which controls the contact pressure, a thermometer with 5.5 sheathed thermocouples, a vacuum pump, pellet and cladding rods, and two heating devices, etc. The thermal contact conductances were measured with varying the contact pressure and surface roughnesses of UO$_2$and Zircaloy-2 bars. The results show that an increase in the contact pressure and a decrease of surface roughness resulted in increase of the thermal contact conductance. Finally, a fitting correlation has been established and compared with widely-used correlations.
