Alternative fuel element for the first core of Angra-2 using zircaloy as guide thimble and gadolinium as burnable poison
Description
In order to get higher Fuel Elements Burnup levels in a PWR Reactor, improving the cycles efficiency, the NUCLEN Neutronic Group, with the collaboration of CDTN has been working into alternative advanced reload plans, as for example low leakage type, and alternative fuel element project to the first core of ANGRA-2, using zircaloy instead of steel as guide thimble material and UO sub(2) + Gd sub(2)O sub(3) instead of boron glass as burnable poison.
