This work is intended to cross check the new capabilities of the fuel cycle scenario code TR_EVOL.This process has been divided in two stages. The first stage is dedicated to check the improvements in the nuclear fuel mass balance estimation using the available datafor the Spanish nuclear fuel cycle.

This study has been made in an attempt to find the structural integrity of the Chashma Nuclear power plant-1 FA skeleton at room temperature. The finite element (FE) analysis has been performed using ANSYS, in orderto determinethe elongationofthe FAskeleton as wellas the locationofmax. stress and stresses developedin axial direction under tensile load of 9800 N or 2 g being the FA handling or lifting load [Y. Zhang et al., Fuel Assembly Design Report, SNERDI, China, 1994].
