Details on an actinide-only burnup credit application in the USA
Description
Details on the Actinide-Only burnup credit assumptions that will be used for the CASTOR X/32 S cask are presented. Preliminary results show that using a conservative set of assumptions the cask will allow most fuel to be loaded without the addition of any additional reactivity control. With the addition of 8 control rod elements it is possible to load most of the rest of the fuel. (author)
