Title: Evaluation of the magnitude and effects of bundle duct interaction in fuel assemblies at developmental plant conditions

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6083718· OSTI ID:6083718

Purpose of this evaluation is to estimate the magnitude and effects of irradiation and creep induced fuel bundle deformations in the developmental plant. This report focuses on the trends of the results and the ability of present models to evaluate the assembly temperatures in the presence of bundle deformation. Although this analysis focuses on the developmental plant, the conclusions are applicable to LMFBR fuel assemblies in general if they have wire spacers.
