Fission gas model of the fuel code sphere-3

  • 1. Paul Scherrer Inst. (PSI), Villigen (Switzerland)

Description

At PSI, the computer code for modelling sphere-pac fuel is called SPHERE. Recently, fundamental improvements have been made to the fission gas release model. No difference between pellet and sphere-pac fuel is assumed concerning the modelling of fission gas behaviour. The paper describes the present status of the phenomenological fission gas model in SPHERE-3, and some results of the qualification process against experimental data. (authors)
