EVALUATION OF FFTF FUEL PIN DESIGN PROCEDURE VIS-A-VIS STEADY STATE IRRADIATION PERFORMANCE IN EBR II

摘要

The FFTF fuel pin design analysis is shown to be conservation through comparison with pin irradiation experience in EBR-II. This compari¬son shows that the actual lifetimes of EBR-II fuel pins are either greater than 80,000 MWd/MTM or greater than the calculated allowable lifetimes based on thermal creep strain.
