Description

Modelling of fuel-rod behavior during reactor power cycling and ramping (including power-cooling mismatch experiments) with the computer code FRAPCON-2 is discussed. FRAPCON-2 computer calculations, using different mechanical models (Rigid Pellet, Deformable Pellet and Finite Element Mechanical Models) are compared with experimental results. The range of conditions over which FRAPCON-2 may be applied for PWR fuel rod behavior modelling during reactor power cycling and ramping are illustrated
