The problem of fuel life control at nuclear power plants (NPP) with WWER-type light-water reactors (PWR) will be discussed for design (normal) loading conditions only. That is, emergency nuclear reactor (NR) operation leading to cladding material plastic deformation is not studied here, therefore the hot plasticity (stress softening) arising at the expense of yield stress decrease under emergency cladding temperature rise, will not be considered here.
