Bruce Power new fuel project: design and implementation of Bruce CANFLEX-LVRF
Description
Bruce Power has initiated a plan to refuel the four reactors at its Bruce B facility with low void reactivity fuel (LVRF), beginning in 2006. The LVRF will provide the necessary safety margins to allow the Bruce B reactors to operate at their design capacity to beyond 2015. The project, called 'New Fuel Project' (NFP), includes the design of the fuel, out-reactor testing and a demonstration irradiation, and addresses system and process changes pertaining to the receipt, use, storage and management of fresh and used LVRF
