Abstract
In this paper, a TRANSURANUS fuel rod thermo-mechanical analysis is performed under the European Lead-cooled SYstem (ELSY project– FP6 ) conditions. The ELSY project is a 600 MWe reactor MOX-fuelled (nitride fuel as future option). Lead assures a prominent coolant chemical inertness and favourable neutronic properties under fast neutron spectrum. In ELSY main GEN IV goals are pursued (sustainability, economics, safety and reliability, proliferation resistance and physical protection). This preliminary ELSY fuel pin analysis aims at investigating by deterministic and statistical methods possible deviations of fuel rod performance moving from reference MOX to a Minor Actinides (MAs) bearing mixed oxide fuel (closed fuel cycle option).
