Modelling of fission gas swelling of the high burnup fuel

  • 1. KAERI, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

Fission gas swelling model which can predict bubble swelling of the high burnup UO2 fuel during the steady-state and the transient conditions in LWR was developed. Based on the bubble growth model by Greenwood-Speight, the empirical fission gas swelling model was developed as function of burnup, time and temperature. The model showed that fuel bubble swelling is proportional to the burnup by the power of 1.157 and to the time by the power of 0.157. Comparison of the model prediction with the measured fission gas swelling data under the various burnup and temperature conditions showed that the model predicts the measured data reasonably well
