Technical Feasibility of Ultra Long Life Fast Reactor Concepts with Fuel Shuffling and Its Potential

  • 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

The TWR, the design development of which is led by Terra Power, is a core concept that was first suggested by Edward Teller. The TWR adopted the CANDLE burnup strategy in the early phase of the development and is now working toward the development of a standing wave reactor (SWR) based on fuel shuffling for earlier commercialization. This paper, describes the enhanced performance with respect to the operating life and lower fast neutron irradiation of the structural material as cladding using a two region core, and optimized fuel shuffling scheme, and controlling the primary control rods
