  • 1. State Scientific and Technical Center for Nuclear and Radiation Safety, Kiev (Ukraine)

Description

A criticality analysis of the reactor pool for existing fuel types for the WWER-440 reactors has been carried out according to the requirements of existing regulatory documents in force in Ukraine. It was concluded that some of the regulatory requirements are too conservative in view of current international practice. The paper points out the areas of conservatism and makes recommendations for taking account of the burnup credit system used in several other countries. (author)
