FRAPCON-2 calculations using all mechanical and gas release options are compared with well-characterized experimental data and with calculations of generic fuel rod response by FRAPCON-1. These comparisons indicate that FRAPCON-2 is capable of analyzing the fuel rod response for the wide range of cases for which the code was designed and compares well with experimental data
