Evaluation of driver fuel performance in the Joyo MK-II core

  • 1. Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuels Development Corp., Ibaraki-ken (Japan)

Description

Through cycle 24, 275 assemblies with ∼35,000 fuel pins were irradiated without any indication of breach. The integrity of Joyo MK-II core fuel assemblies up to the design burnup limit was confirmed. The analysis and evaluation based on a large body of PIE data showed that the performance of the MK-II driver fuel was excellent and that lifetime could be expanded beyond the current burnup limit
