Description
Spent fuel reprocessing has been chosen in France since the beginning of the French nuclear program. Plutonium recycling in French PWR plants was decided in June 1985. A two year experience of Plutonium reload operation in 900 MW PWR is now acquired in France. This paper describes: Neutronic calculations organization and methods; Available neutronic calculations and measurements of French PWR MOX cycles obtained by EDF. (author). 6 figs, 3 tabs
