FRAPCON-2 : A Computer Code for the Calculation of Steady State Thermal-Mechanical Behavior of Oxide Fuel Rods (open access)

FRAPCON-2 : A Computer Code for the Calculation of Steady State Thermal-Mechanical Behavior of Oxide Fuel Rods

FRAPCON-2 is a FORTRAN IV computer code that calculates the steady state response of light Mater reactor fuel rods during long-term burnup. The code calculates the temperature, pressure, deformation, and tai lure histories of a fuel rod as functions of time-dependent fuel rod power and coolant boundary conditions. The phenomena modeled by the code include (a) heat conduction through the fuel and cladding, (b) cladding elastic and plastic deformation, (c) fuel-cladding mechanical interaction, (d) fission gas release, (e} fuel rod internal gas pressure, (f) heat transfer between fuel and cladding, (g) cladding oxidation, and (h) heat transfer from cladding to coolant. The code contains necessary material properties, water properties, and heat transfer correlations. FRAPCON-2 is programmed for use on the CDC Cyber 175 and 176 computers. The FRAPCON-2 code Is designed to generate initial conditions for transient fuel rod analysis by either the FRAP-T6 computer code or the thermal-hydraulic code, RELAP4/MOD7 Version 2.

[MRBT Bundle B-6 Transient Test and Posttest Deformation Data]

Computer-generated graphical and tabular presentations of transient test and posttest deformation data for Multirod Burst Test (MRBT) Bundle B-6 (see pages 131-141 of report). "The primary objective of this 8 x 8 multirod burst test was to investigate cladding de-formation in the alpha-plus-beta-Zircaloy temperature range under simulated light-water-reactor (LWR) loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) conditions. B-6 test conditions simulated the adiabatic heatup (reheat) phase of an LOCA and produced very uniform temperature distributions." - from Abstract
