The HEDL FCCI correlation has been expanded to peak burnups up to 14.5 at. %. Increases in depth of interaction were found to be linear with burnup to approximately twice the FFTF goal burnup. Examinations of the peak burnup pin P-23A-18 indicates that it was very close to a true end-of-life breach, demonstrating a substantial burnup capability for FFTF reference design mixed-oxide fuel operating at high cladding temperatures.
