The objective of this work is to evaluate the fuel behavior modeling code MARS against experimental data. Two cases were selected: an early comercial PWR rod (Maine Yankee rod) and an experimental rod from the Canadian BWR program (Canadian rod). The MARS predictions are compared with experimental data and predictions made by other fuel modeling codes. Improvements are suggested for some fuel behavior models. Mars results are satisfactory based on the data available.
