Description

KAERI has developed a comprehensive fission gas release model. KAERI has also expanded the ELESTRES data base of neutron flux depression in fuel. Based on the KAERI developed model and the extended data base, KAERI has improved the ELESTRES computer code. The improved version of ELESTES code was designated as ELESTRES-K, and is used for CANDU fuel element design and performance analysis. The ELESTRES-K code was verified through comparison with fission gas release and plastic sheath strain experimental data taken from AECL and KAERI irradiation tests. As a result of this verification, it is found that the ELESTRES-K code well predicts the absolute magnitude and trend of fission gas release and plastic sheath strain in comparison with ELESTRES code
