note = "Funding Information: On the side of the utilities, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) originally supported two fuel performance codes: ESCORE for steady-state reload analysis and FREY for fuel reliability and off-normal transient analysis. However, in 1996, EPRI initiated development of the FALCON code [68,69,248] with the Anatech company, combining the best features of ESCORE and FREY. This combination is applicable to both normal operation conditions as well as design basis accidents. FALCON is finite element-based and can be used for 2D analysis with either axisymmetric or Cartesian geometry.Since 2009, INL has been developing a modern finite-element-based nuclear fuel performance code known as BISON [243]. As applied to LWR fuel, BISON supports the use of a variety of geometries (1.5 and 2D axisymmetric, 2D Cartesian, or 3D) all with the same material and behavioral models. BISON supports parallel computation and employs a software architecture that minimizes the programming required to add new features, such as material and behavior models. In recent years, capability has been added to BISON to support accident analysis (LOCA and RIA) [263].",
