Description
Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) is a loop type reactor with sodium as the primary coolant. Presently FBTR is running with 28 Mark I (70% PuC - 30% UC) fuel subassemblies (FSA), 13 Mark II (55% PuC - 45% UC) FSA and 1 PFBR test FSA. To ease fuel fabrication, it is proposed to use hybrid core (26 Mark I subassemblies in the central core surrounded by 52 MOX subassemblies), which gives 30.7MWt. MOXSA will have 44 wt% of PuO2 and 56 wt% of UO2 with a fissile column length of 430 mm
