A feasibility study for Na cooled KALIMER-600 core of a single enrichment

  • 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

To meet the goals of GENERATION-IV, the KALIMER-600 core of 600 MWe with no blanket assemblies and fuel rods of a single enrichment was designed. To control the power peaking factor caused by a single enrichment, the driver fuel region was classified into three different FA types. Burnable absorbers, neutron streaming tubes and moderator tubes are introduced to reduce the power peaking factor. After extensive trials and errors by varying the number of replacement tubes, a final core meeting the design ground rules was selected
