Description

Specific problems related to the utilization of UO2-PuO2 fuels in the present standard PWRs are reviewed. Studies have been carried out on plutonium recycle: reactivity accident calculations, criticality experiments. Studies dealing with a real core refueling with 30% of UO2-PuO2 fuel assemblies are now developed

Abstract (French)

Les problemes specifiques lies a la substitution de l'U235 par du plutonium dans les REP standards existants sont passes rapidement en revue. Des etudes ont ete menees sur le recyclage du plutonium: calculs d'accidents de reactivite et experiences critiques neutroniques. Des etudes actuelles portent sur la mise en oeuvre reelle d'une recharge a 30% d'assemblages a combustible UO2-PuO2
