Burnup extension plan of BWR fuel and its impact on the fuel cycle in Japan
Description
In Japan burn up extension of BWR fuel is being pursued in a stepwise way to 45 GWd/t (batch average). Within this burnup range, no major technical issue and no major licensing program will be expected. In case of burnup extension over 45 GWd/t some modifications will be necessary throughout the nuclear fuel cycle to prevent problems on criticality, shielding, etc. (author). Figs, 1 tab
