Fission gas release modelling at high burnup
Description
A large quantity of experimental data on fission gas release is now available in the public domain. It covers a wide variety of fuel types and burnups of up to more than 70 GWd/tU. This data, together with gas release measurements from British Energy's AGRs, has been used to build a comprehensive validation database for the fuel performance code ENIGMA. Validation of ENIGMA version 5.11 against this database has identified a requirement for model development to improve predictions at high burnup. A modified gas release model has been produced and tested. (author)
