  1. CIEMAT ACTIVITIES on FRAPCON/FRAPTRAN APPLICATIONS (2010-2012)

  2. PROJECTS • TERMOMEC (Thermo-mechanical Behaviour of Nuclear Fuel at High Burnup) • Sponsor: CSN (Spanish Nuclear Regulatory Body) • Codes used: FRAPCON-3.4 and FRAPTRAN-1.4 • AICAST (Analysis of Integrity of Spent Fuel in Dry Storage and Transport) • Sponsor: ENRESA (Spanish Radioactive Waste Management Company) • Code used: FRAPCON-3.4

  3. TERMOMEC MAIN ACTIVITIES FRAPCON-3.4 + FRAPTRAN-1.4 Ramps RIA Uncertainties analysis LOCA 3rd SCIP Benchmark (R2, HALDEN) HALDEN OECD RIA-Benchmark (CABRI, NSRR) CIP0-1 (deterministic) Other cases (probabilistic)

  4. AICAST MAIN ACTIVITIES FRAPCON-3.4xt Dry storage Creep Hydrogen DHC Embrittlement (HE) Hydride radial reorientation (HRR)

  5. SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FRAPCON-3.4 • Gap from plotter file different from (rclad in - rfuel out) (values from“print2.f”) • Clad thickness: • tcc in “frpcon.f” axially changes (clad thinning due to oxide) • tcc in “print2.f” does NOT change from node to node (top value) → same rclad out • Transmitted to “ccreep.f” → stress not affected by axial variation FRAPTRAN-1.4 (RIA simulations) • Tclad out with oxide ≈ Tclad out without oxide (completely spalled) • If clad failure →ztot≠ ztherm+ zelast+ zperm
