Metallic Fuel Performance Code Requirements for the Versatile Test Reactor Project

“…A number of codes have been developed in the United States and elsewhere to assess metallic fuels against performance metrics and safety criteria, including LIFE-METAL [12], [13], SESAME [14], ALFUS [15], MACSIS [16], FEAST-METAL [17], FAST [18], BISON [19], [20], and SAS4A [21]- [23]. These codes have been applied to aid in fuel element design, performance, and safety calculations; plan and interpret the results of irradiation experiments; and support fuel qualification efforts.…”
