The effect of thermal conductivity on the DUPIC fuel behavior

  • 1. KAERI, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

The thermal conductivity model of DUPIC fuel was proposed based on the experimental data obtained from reference simulated DUPIC fuel. Using the modified CANDU fuel performance code, the thermal behavior of DUPIC fuel was estimated under the conditions of the nominal design power envelope and high power envelope. These results were compared with the behavior of UO2 fuel under the same conditions. Also, the estimated data of the centerline temperature and fission gas release volume of DUPIC fuel were compared with the post- irradiation examination data, and the conservative meeting point was observed
