Abstract

KAERi has developed a comprehensive fission gas release model. KAERI has also expanded the ELESTRES data base of neutron flux depression is fuel. Based on the KAERI developed model and the extended data base, KAERi has improved the ELESTRES computer code. The improved version of ELESTRES code was designated as ELESTRES-K, and is used for CANDU fuel element design and performance analysis. The ELESTRES-K code was verified through comparison with fission gas release experimental data taken from AECL and KAERI irradiation tests. As a result this verification, it is found that the ELESTRES-K code well predicts the absolute magnitude and trend of fission gas release in comparison with ELESTRES code.
