과제정보
The activity on fuel behaviour analysis methods development at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) has been partly funded by Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate (ENSI) in the framework of the STARS program. Some specific studies have been supported by swissnuclear through its Expert Group on Fuel Safety (ESB). The boundary conditions for fuel behaviour analysis, as provided by Dr. K. Nikitin and Mr. H. Ferroukhi of PSI based on their TRACE and SIMULATE-3 code calculations are acknowledged with thanks. The experimental data of Post-Irradiation Examination carried out by Dr. D. Gavillet, Dr. H. Wiese and Dr. M. Martin of Paul Scherrer Institute was particularly important for the present modelling work. The author would like to express his deepest gratitude to Dr. A. Gorzel from Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate, for his review of the manuscript.
