Analysis of strategies for improving uranium utilization in pressurized water reactors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1981, 1981)
Systematic procedures have been devised and applied to evaluate core design and fuel management strategies for improving uranium utilization in Pressurized Water Reactors operated on a once-through fuel cycle. A principal ...
Optimization of the axial power shape in pressurized water reactors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1981, 1981)
Analytical and numerical methods have been applied to find the optimum axial power profile in a PWR with respect to uranium utilization. The preferred shape was found to have a large central region of uniform power density, ...
