Abstract
The AGR-2 experiment produced normal operation and accident condition fuel performance data for tri-structural isotropic (TRISO) particles with UCO and UO2 kernels. Data for compacts with no failed particles and for compacts with one or more failed particles are available. To model the fission product diffusion and release from these compacts, it is important to consider the computational mesh as well as the heat conduction and mass diffusion properties of the materials in a TRISO particle. Code and solution verification studies with the Bison fuel performance code were performed to show that the code is computing correct solutions. Bison comparisons to post-irradiation examination data and PARFUME predictions were made for several sets of compacts. These comparisons considered silver, cesium, strontium, and krypton with and without failed particles. Bison predictions closely match those of PARFUME, while both codes generally overpredict post-irradiation examination data.
