Fission gas release from UO2 pellet fuel at high burn-up

  • 1. OECD Halden Reactor Project, Halden, Norway

Description

Analysis of in-reactor measurements of fuel center temperature and rod internal pressure at the OECD Halden Reactor Project has led to the development of an empirical fission gas release model, which is described. The model originally derived from data obtained in the low and intermediate burn-up range, appears to give good predictions for rods irradiated to high exposures as well. PIE puncturing data from seven fuel rods, operated at relatively constant powers and peak center temperatures between 1900 and 20000C up to approx. 40,000 MWd/t UO2, did not exhibit any burn-up enhancement on the fission gas release rate
