Description
A recent advance in boiling water reactor (BWR) fuel design is the water cross concept developed initially in Sweden by ASEA-Atom and introduced in the U.S. by Westinghouse as QUAD+. This design offers significant fuel cycle cost benefits while at the same time providing performance benefits which permit greater operational capability and flexibility. This paper describes the concept of QUAD+ (water cross) fuel and summarizes the economic and performance benefits of this fuel
