I use the MCNP code to calculate the power density of a single fuel block of the GT-MHR reactor, and I got about 20 Watt/cc with some pre-determined condition.

I found that the average power density for the 600 MWth GT-MHR is 33 Watt/cc and the calculated temperature for the TRISO fuel kernel is ~1000 degrees C.

[from here: http://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/200843/files/Energie_Umwelt_257.pdf ]

Can I just extrapolate the temperature like this one?

33 Watt/cc ~ 1000 degree C

so for 20 Watt/cc the temperature will be;

(20/33)*1000 degrees C = 606 degrees C?
