HERA M&S Exercise Problem Description Report

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/2478529· OSTI ID:2478529
The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Framework for Irradiation Experiments (FIDES) program includes the High burnup Experiments for Reactivity initiated Accident (HERA) Joint Experimental Program (JEEP). The HERA project is focused on studying Light Water Reactor (LWR) fuel behavior during Reactivity Initiated Accident (RIA) conditions. The HERA experiment plan includes analytical integral experiments using test specimens tailored to investigate specific conditions of relevance as well as prototypic integral experiments focused on irradiated fuel from prototypic origin. Modeling & simulation (M&S) is a key component of any experiment program, and the HERA JEEP is coordinating a M&S exercise. The purpose of this document is to provide problem descriptions to support the HERA M&S exercise based on fuel performance modeling. The HERA M&S exercise is expected to evolve into multiple efforts in outyears. This document may be revised and expanded to incorporate those evolutions.
