Joint NEA project performs high-burnup test
An article in the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s July news bulletin noted that a first test has been completed for the High Burnup Experiments in Reactivity Initiated Accident (HERA) project. The project aim is to understand the performance of light water reactor fuel at high burnup under reactivity-initiated accidents (RIA).

The use of several mean-chord-length approximations to interface-currents matrix elements are investigated. On the basis of comparison with numerical integration, an approximate technique is proposed which greatly reduces the demands upon the storage and time capacities of the computer in performing interface-currents calculations in the multiple-mode angular current representation.
