Abstract

The FP Kinetics computer code [1] designed for calculation of fission products release from HTGR coated fuel particles was modified to allow consideration of chemical bonding, effects of limited solubility and component concentration jumps at interfaces between coating layers. Curves of Cs release from coated particles calculated with the FP Kinetics and PARFUME [2] codes were compared. It has been found that the consideration of concentration jumps at silicon carbide layer interfaces allows giving an explanation of some experimental data on Cs release obtained from post-irradiation heating tests. The need to perform experiments for measurement of solubility limits in coating materials was noted.
