• Fuel Assemblies designed and fabricated by Westinghouse Electric Sweden (WSE) to reach high burnup have been operated in the Leibstadt nuclear power plant (KKL) for seven cycles attaining an assembly average burnup above 60 MWd/kgU. The irradiation conditions in KKL featured linear heat generation rates ranging from 250 W/cm early in life down to 100 W/cm in the last cycle and normal water chemistry with zinc injection. Selected rods have been extracted at both intermediate and final irradiation stages and hot cell examinations have been carried out. The results show that the fuel is well suited for high burnup applications and rod segments have been provided to the OECD Halden Reactor Program, the OECD Studsvik Cladding Integrity Program and the Japanese ALPS program for dedicated high burnup tests with regard to fission as release and cladding lift-off as well as behavior under power transient, RIA and LOCA.
