The non-usage load leakage reload to Angra 1
Description
In a load leakage reload, the burned fuel elements are loaded around the core periphery. This procedure has been intensively used in Developed countries with two objectives: decrease the neutron fluence in reactor vessel and increase the lifetime of operation cycles. The aim of this paper is to prove that if this procedure were eventually used for Angra I plant, its main function in the integrated electrical network completing the demand on periods of low hydraulic generation would be affected in a negative way.
