Preliminary nuclear design for test MOX fuel rods

  • 1. KAERI, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

A preliminary neutronic evaluation for the test fuel was performed to determine the fuel rod position in the rig and to assure the achievement of target linear power and burnup. Since the fuel rod positions in the test fuel assembly do not affect the rod power distribution, the position of the test fuel rods in the rig was determined mainly from the consideration of instrumentation device installation. In order to achieve target linear power and burnup of the test fuel rods, the test fuel assembly rig needs to be loaded for at least 750EFPDs in core periphery where the driver fuel assembly produces the power of about 130kW
