Method for calculating the fractional release of volatile fission products from oxide fuel

Creators

Description

This standard provides an analytical method for calculating the release of volatile fission products from oxide fuel pellets during normal reactor operation. When used with nuclide yields, this method will give the so-called gap activity, which is the inventory of volatile fission products that could be available for release from the fuel rod if the cladding were breached
