Description

The paper provides basic description of fuel failures. It shows monitoring, prediction, and identification of fuel failures during 17th campaign on each unit of Temelín NPP. This is shown from radiochemical perspective of fuel failures and their impacts on activity (Bq/kg) of reference radionuclides in the primary coolant. The paper compares predicted number of fuel failures with those found and it shows success of predictions. The paper puts this into a context of all fuel failures found among fuel assemblies supplied by fuel vendor of Temelín NPP, TVEL Fuel Company. It shows critical operating year for TVEL fuel assemblies. TVEL Fuel Company has been fuel supplier of Temelín NPP since 2010. (author)
