Abstract
The paper considers the thermally stressed state of fuel rods when their geometric shape changes. The temperature fields for the sphere and the ellipsoid are determined. It is shown that, while maintaining volumetric heat release, maximum stresses occur in fuel rods of circular cross-section. Similar results were obtained when changing the geometric shape of a spherical fuel element: all other things being equal, maximum thermal stresses occur in spherical fuel elements.
