Abstract
The assessment of the (safety-related) performance of the driver fuel rods of the reactor is of key importance to the licensing process of MYRRHA, which is currently in its “pre-licensing” phase. Although the fuel rod design is largely based on past (sodium) fast reactor experience, the use of LBE as the coolant requires a thorough re-evaluation of the fuel design for specific MYRRHA conditions. This paper presents preliminary results.
