Three-region restructured fuel, with given thermal characteristics, may be represented by an effective conductivity integral function Y(T). For any fuel surface temperature T_s and linear heat generation rate q, the maximum fuel temperature T_v is found from the relation Y_v - Y_s = q. Region radii and molten fuel fraction appear in the groups qR²/R and qF as functions of Y_v - Y_e.
