Abstract

The modelling in fuel behaviour codes that are in use at VTT are being upgraded to meet the requirements from evolving fuel design and operational data - most notably higher burnup goals - and from revised guidelines for applying the licensing procedures. Work is being carried out to partially renew the descriptions of fission product swelling and release, and detailed mechanical response. As effective probabilistic methods will be favoured even in fuel accident behaviour codes, bases for such studies are being founded. Emphatic education and training of a new generation of experts is showing good progress.
