DSTRESS; transient fuel model for clad strain. [CDC6600,CYBER175; FORTRAN IV]

Technical Report ·

OSTI ID:6488164

Fox, G L

DSTRESS calculates cladding strains produced by the fuel when a fuel pin is subjected to an overpower transient. The mechanistic fuel model calculates fuel stresses with high creep rates, melting, cracking, and the accommodation of thermal expansion by the crack volume.CDC6600,CYBER175; FORTRAN IV; SCOPE 3.4 (CDC6600), NOS 1.3 (CDC CYBER175); DSTRESS requires 43,000 (octal) words of memory for execution. The plotting program, PLOTR, requires 61,000 (octal) words of memory. DSTRESS creates a data file used as input to PLOTR on logical unit 8.
