Description
The BaCo code was applied to simulate the behavior for a PHWR fuel under storage conditions showing a strong dependence on the original design of the fuel and the irradiation history. In particular, the result of the statistical analysis of BaCo indicates that the integrity of the fuel is determined by the manufacture tolerances and the solicitations during the NPP irradiation. The main conclusion of the present study is that the fuel temperature of the device should be carefully controlled in order to ensure safe storage conditions. (author)
