Would you say that these are "side elements" or does the "de bords" mean something else here.
Thanks in advance
5.3 Evolution globale
On présente (figure 5), la variation du flux en fonction de la température de paroi pour l’ensemble des configurations étudiées, pour une température d’entrée. On distingue notamment la différence de comportement linéaire entre les deux **éléments de bords** et les autres éléments.
Pour les éléments centraux, majoritaires, le flux et la température de paroi moyens sont reliés par la relation linéaire :

: if it's a container, with an outer shelf, outer elements would do (Joyeuses fêtes)

My guess is that
your "éléments" are "éléments de combustible" for your nuclear reactor, so "fuel rods" would be better than "elements", unless your text makes it clear that they are something else. In any case, I suspect there is a better (more specific) word in English than "elements". As for the "bord", I can't help and cannot imagine any layout of such things having ONLY TWO "éléments de bord" and a larger number (majoritaires) of "éléments centraux", so it's a mystery to me!

just to nail it down even more:
During burnup, the concentration of fission products in the fuel matrix gradually increases. Ceramic inclusions of Ba and Zr oxide reduce thermal conductivity, while inclusions of Mo, Pd, Rh, Ru, and Tc increase thermal conductivity. LWR fuel is designed to be fission gas retentive and the buildup of these gasses produces a large reduction in the thermal conductivity of the fuel. The following figure shows the result of experiments conducted on simulated fuel with fission product additives corresponding to different levels of burnup as a function of temperature. At 8 at. % burnup, a reduction in thermal conductivity of about 30% of its new fuel value is seen at temperatures in the 400 - 600 C region, corresponding to the outer perimeter of operating fuel.
