Abstract
The results show that for burn up between 0 and 16,000Â MWd/tU there is 160.8Â W/cm as minimum margin between LHGR peak for maximum operation (439.6Â W/cm) and LHGR calculated to reach 1.1% of circumferential plastic cladding strain, considering a factor peaking power of 1.40. For a burn up of 20,000Â MWd/tU and 60,000Â MWd/tU there are margins of 150.3 and 298.6Â W/cm, respectively. The calculations are carried out with codes FEMAXI-VI and RODBURN.
