An analysis of the fuel element cladding failure parameter considering the nonuniformity of energy release in a fuel assembly

Considering the fuel assembly (FA) load history and the nonuniformity of energy release for the fuel elements (FEs) contained in this FA, a method for forecasting of probability of VVER-1000 FE cladding failure due to FE cladding deformation damage accumulation, has been developed. In the case of fo...
