Abstract
In this paper a new enhanced simple numerical fuel rod code is developed, which is used to calculate the transient one-dimensional fuel temperature behavior in Light Water Reactors. The proposed code is then applied to determine the transient temperature behavior of fuel due to sudden rise in heat generation rate. The obtained results are then compared with that obtained from an analytical transient solution. The steady state values obtained from both solutions are then compared with that obtained from the corresponding closed form solution of this problem. It is proved that the numerical code is more powerful and accurate.
