Abstract
Abstract The paper at hands discusses the development of an integrated method to predict the fuel rod behavior of LWR-fuel during extended dry storage scenarios. It is well known that degradation effects exist under certain circumstances and that a fuel rod integrity assessment for long-term storage, handling and transport must take these effects into account. It will be elaborated why a complete coverage of the whole lifetime of the fuel rod is necessary. This includes the fabrication, reactor operation, wet storage, drying process, and the dry storage itself. Regarding this approach, a discussion on open questions and challenges will be given.
