Abstract

The basic aspects of designing VVER fuel elements are examined: directions for improving fuel-element design determined by current trends in nuclear power; directions for the development of a methodology for the computational validation of the behavior of fuel elements in design basis regimes of normal operation, disruptions of normal operation and in design basis accidents; and questions concerning the experimental validation of design criteria.
