Blanket management method for liquid metal fast breeder reactors

Creators

Description

The method is described of moving blanket assemblies during refueling in a heterogeneous-type core for a liquid-metal-cooled fast-breeder nuclear reactor to improve the performance thereof. The core consists of fissile-material-containing fuel assemblies and fertile-material-containing blanket assemblies, the blanket assemblies including a plurality of inner blanket assemblies positioned in predetermined different locations within the interior of the core and radial blanket assemblies positioned proximate the periphery of the core
