Abstract

Measurement and prediction of fission product release is important in design, licensing and operation of HTRs. Latest development status is near zero particle manufacturing defects and in-pile failures combined with very low matrix contamination levels. In-pile Release over Birth rate measurements will be described and evaluated. Quantitative predictive analyses of short-lived gas release will be provided for MTR irradiation testing with a focus on the most recent experiment with Chinese fuel from HTR-PM production. For irradiation tests with no single particle failure, models describing particle kernel release are not applicable; instead modeling of matrix contamination release is essential. Good agreement between postcalculations and in-line R/B measurements has been achieved.
