Description
Interest in the modelling of extended burnup CANDU fuel has been prompted by the examination of such fuel from CANDU reactors, and the development of extended burnup CANDU fuel for the future. A study was done at AECL research to compile a database on experimental irradiations whose outer-element burnups exceed 300 MW.h/kg. This paper describes the elements that comprise the database, and discusses analysis of fission-gas-release measurements against experimental parameters. Fission-gas-release measurements are also compared against predicted results from the MOD10 and MOD11 versions of the code ELESIM. 4 refs., 7 figs., 3 tabs
