FIGRO (addendum II): a CDC-6600 computer program for the analysis of fuel swelling and calculation of temperature in bulk-oxide cylindrical fuel elements (LWBR Development Program)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6720614
The FIGRO computer program calculates temperatures and fuel swelling in bulk-oxide cylindrical fuel elements. The addition of heat conduction model for the analysis of rapid transients such as those encountered in hazards and safeguards studies is described. Other additions account for the effect on gap conductance of the release of volatile gases from the fuel, reduction of gap thickness due to clad creep, ternary fission helium release, and the existence of clad corrosion layers. FIGRO now requires 100,000 octal locations to run on the CDC-6600 SCOPE 3.1 operating system. A sample problem is presented. 7 references. (NSA 24: 29019)
