Comparison of TRANSURANUS code calculations with results from the international fuels programme TRIBULATION
Description
The well-defined fuel rod tests from the international TRIBULATION programme have provided a large amount of fuel and performance data for computer code verification and validation. This report describes the calculation approach used to simulate fuel rod behaviour with the TRANSURANUS code. The calculated fuel rod deformations and fission gas release results are very close to the measured values, showing the ability of the TRANSURANUS code to model fuel rod behaviour in steady-state or transient conditions.
