A parametric study for the optimization of conceptual nuclear design of light water cooled PHWR
Description
A design concept of pressure-tube type light water cooled reactor was proposed as an innovative Pressurized Heavy Water Moderated Reactor(PHWR). Four kinds of reactor concepts were tested for the selection of moderator outside of the pressure tube. The most feasible design concept has features which is fuel pellet radius is 0.6077cm UO2 fuel, light water coolant, and thickness of heavy water moderator is 2.0cm. Also Excess reactivity was dropped to the level of that of CANDU module throughout IFBA and Discharged burnup was increased 2.4 times longer than that of CANDU
