Description
The thermohydraulic conditions of the High Converter PWR correspond to the standard design of modern PWR type reactors in Germany. Fuel burnup calculations were made for a fuel cycle comprising 320 days of full-load operation, the added plutonium was enriched to 8%. The reactivity change induced by a change of water pressure corresponds to that of current PWR designs. (DG)
Abstract (German)
Die thermohydraulischen Eigenschaften des hochkonvertierenden DWR entsprechen denen moderner DWR in Deutschland. Die Abbrandberechnungen wurden fuer einen BE-Zyklus nach 320 Vollasttagen durchgefuehrt. Die Anreicherung des zugefuehrten Pu betraegt 8%. Die Aenderung der Reaktivitaet durch eine Aenderung der Wasserdichte entspricht der eines DWR. (DG)Additional details
