The one-dimensional LIFE4 and the multidimensional TWOD codes form part of a system of design methods used for FBR core design. The primary purpose of LIFE4 and TWOD is to determine the capability of FBR fuel pins to attain target operating conditions and exposures while remaining within prescribed thermal and structural design limits. The codes utilize fundamentally-based models for fuel behavior with the capability to account for the interactions between phenomena.
