文摘
- •
The literature on thermal–mechanical properties of (Th,Pu)O2 fuel is reviewed.
- •
The fuel performance code FRAPCON is modified for simulation of (Th,Pu)O2 fuel.
- •
Subroutines for calculation of fuel material properties are modified.
- •
A new subroutine is written for calculation of radial power profiles.
- •
Calculated temperatures agree with measured temperatures for fresh fuel.
