Description

Electricite de France operates a large number of 900 MW-class and 1300 MW-class units and has developed its own standard tool for core physics parameters calculation. A very significant statistical analysis of PWR core parameter calculation accuracy is possible. In spite of high constrained operating conditions (load follow, fuel cycle length flexibility), various core management strategies (three or four uranium batches, uranium enrichment, plutonium recycling) and reloads of different suppliers and designs, results are presented which show a good agreement between predictions and measurements
