NEUTRONIC AND THERMAL HYDRAULIC DESIGNS OF ANNULAR FUEL FOR HIGH POWER DENSITY BWRS
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2004-12)
As a promising new fuel for high power density light water reactors, the feasibility of using annular fuel for BWR services is explored from both thermal hydraulic and neutronic points of view. Keeping the bundle size ...
Combining Thorium with Burnable Poison for Reactivity Control of a Very Long Cycle BWR
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2004-06)
The effect of utilizing thorium together with gadolinium, erbium, or boron
burnable absorber in BWR fuel assemblies for very long cycle is investigated. Nuclear
characteristics such as reactivity and power distributions ...
