The article presents a developed calculation model for fuel elements of nuclear reactors. This model includes complex of interconnected verified techniques and materials properties to be used in calculations, in particular: technique of fuel elements stress and strain state calculations; technique of model verification and fuel elements material properties using experimental data; technique of fuel elements stress and strain state probability calculations; technique for justification of fuel elements operability.
