Description

'ETOILE'/1//2/ is a 3-D FEM code for the prediction of the fuel pin bundle distortions and mechanical behaviors during irradiation in LMFBR cores. A validation study of the 'ETOILE' code has been made with the experimental data of the bundle stiffness described in a paper published by HEDL/3/, and it has been reported at SMiRT 8 /4/. In this paper, a validation study of the code with the experimental data of the maximum reduction in clearance between pins is presented. (orig.)
