ANALYSIS OF FUEL LONGTERM EFFECTS USING SUBCHANNEL CODES

open access: yesJournal of Engineering, 2010
Thermohydraulic computer codes such as COBRA3C are now becoming in practical use as part of power plant licensing process. One of the areas of interest to reactor designer is the effect due to longterm operations and the changes that might occur either due to irradiation (burnup) effects or thermal stresses in the reactor.
