Title: MATPRO-Version 11: a handbook of materials properties for use in the analysis of light water reactor fuel rod behavior

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6442256· OSTI ID:6442256

This handbook describes the materials properties correlations and computer subcodes (MATPRO-Version 11) developed for use with various LWR fuel rod behavior analytical programs at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. Formulations of fuel rod material properties, which are generally semiempirical in nature, are presented for uranium dioxide and mixed uranium--plutonium dioxide fuel, zircaloy cladding, and fill gas mixtures.
