Abstract
The report presents the results of analytical work on updating and supplementing Zr-1%Nb (E11O) cladding material property models as part of MATPRO package intended for joint use with thermal mechanical codes analyzing high burnup fuel transient behavior. The scope of work also included adapting U.S.NRC's FRAPTRAN code to the behavior analysis of fuel with E110 cladding (VVER type) and carrying out of the code assessment using selected experimental data. Satisfactory compliance of the results calculated by modified FRAPTRAN version with in-pile RIA and out-of-pile LOCA simulated test results is obtained. The obtained calculation data have been also compared with the predictions of the FRAP-T6 (U.S.NRC) and SCANAIR (IRSN, France) codes modified earlier.
