ABSTRACT:
A method of conditioning the fuel of a nuclear reactor core to minimize failure of the fuel cladding comprising increasing the fuel rod power to a desired maximum power level at a rate below a critical rate which would cause cladding damage. Such conditioning allows subsequent freedom of power changes below and up to said maximum power level with minimized danger of cladding damage.
