A calculation on the diffusion and release behavior of fission products in the first and second OGL-1 fuel sleeves

Based on the Fick's law the computer program FPDR has been developed to calculate the one-dimensional diffusion and release behavior of fission products in the graphite sleeves of the first and second OGL-1 fuel assembly. Through the comparison between the measured and calculated penetration profiles, the diffusion coefficient of 90Sr in the first fuel sleeve has been estimated to be (2 -- 5) x 10-13 m2/s; those of 137Cs and 90Sr in the second fuel sleeve around or larger than 1 x 10-12 m2/s, and --10-14 m2/s, respectively. The release of 90Sr from the second fuel sleeve is negligible; that of 137Cs depends linearly on its diffusion coefficient if the coefficient is larger than 10-12 m2/s, but practically does not depend on its evaporation parameter.
