High Performance Fuel Design for Next Generation PWRs: Final Report
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2006-01)
This summary provides an overview of the results of the U.S. DOE funded NERI
(Nuclear Research Energy Initiative) program on development of the internally and
externally cooled annular fuel for high power density PWRs. ...
High Performance Fuel Design for Next Generation PWRs Appendices B-I to FY-02 Annual Report
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2003-08)
B.1.1 VIPRE modeling of PWR core with annular fuel:
Optimization studies in the first year used an isolated channel and models for MDNBR analyses. These analyses provided sufficient knowledge of potential thermal hydraulic ...
PWR Cores with Silicon Carbide Cladding
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2011-04)
The use in present generation PWRs of fuel clad with silicon carbide rather than Zircaloy
has been evaluated as an aid to reaching higher discharge burnups and to operation at higher
reactor power levels. A preliminary ...
High Performance Fuel Design for Next Generation PWRs 2nd Annual Report
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Program, 2003-08)
The overall objective of this NERI project is to examine the potential for a high performance advanced fuel design for Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs), which would accommodate a substantial increase of core power density ...
