FRAPCON-1: a computer code for the steady state analysis of oxide fuel rods
Description
The predictive capabilities of the steady state fuel rod behavior program, FRAPCON-1, have been independently assessed. Predictions of fuel behavior generated by the FRAPCON-1 code are compared with experimental data for test rods and with predictions from the FRAP-S3 code for commercial design rods. The code-data comparisons are used to assess the accuracy of fuel rod thermal, pressure, deformation, and corrosion models under steady state operating conditions. The code-code comparisons are used to identify the effects of model differences between FRAPCON-1 and the previously assessed fuel behavior code, FRAP-S3. Based on the results of these studies, conclusions are given regarding present model capabilities and future development needs
