FRAPCON-3 is an updated version of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission single-rod steady-state fuel performance code FRAPCON-2. To provide improved predictions at high-burnup levels, the code has updated properties for fission gas release (FGR), fuel thermal conductivity, fuel relocation, contact gap conductance, cladding corrosion and hydriding, fuel swelling, and radial power distribution. A detailed discussion of these model modifications is provided in NUREG/CR-6534.
