Numerical modeling of the temperature distribution in a VVER fuel element

The temperature distribution in a VVER fuel element with deep burnup of nuclear fuel is studied. Numerical and analytical methods are used. It is shown that a stationary temperature distribution is established in no longer than 1 min. Analytical methods are used to obtain the temperature dependence...

Zusammenfassung:The temperature distribution in a VVER fuel element with deep burnup of nuclear fuel is studied. Numerical and analytical methods are used. It is shown that a stationary temperature distribution is established in no longer than 1 min. Analytical methods are used to obtain the temperature dependence of the radius of a fuel element in a stationary regime
