Description
Advances in Fuel Management hardware and software developed at Westinghouse to meet utility needs in fuel utilization, reliability, and quality improvement are reviewed. Several advanced fuel products have been introduced in the past few years, and the in-reactor operational experience of these new products are summarized. The PHOENIX-P/ANC design system has been qualified and licensed by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and has been used for the design of first and reload cores at Westinghouse. Its qualification is summarized and the expected evolution of fuel management is discussed. (author)
