| Abstract: | The methodology used to develop the LMFBR carbide/nitride fuels code, LIFE4-CN, is described in detail along with some subtleties encountered in code development. Fuel primary and steady-state thermal creep have been used as an example to illustrate the need for physical modeling and the need to recognize the importance of the materials characteristics. A self-consistent strategy for LIFE4-CN verification against irradiation data has been outlined with emphasis on the establishment of the gross uncertainty bands. These gross uncertainty bands can be used as an objective measure to gauge the overall success of the code predictions. Preliminary code predictions for sample steady-state and transient cases are given. |
