Abstract:The methods and computer program for calculating, as well as the computational results obtained, the remaining-life changes occurring in the profile of the central channel of the kernel of a fuel element in a single-element electricity generating channel because of uranium dioxide mass transfer, taking account of the redistribution of the fuel components and the effect of the spacers, are presented. It is shown that the measured and a priori computed profiles of the central channel are close after prolonged te… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
