VVER-440 fuel cycle with IMF • Full core evaluation • Control rod ejection • Conclusion VUJE , Inc., Okružná 5, SK 918 64 Trnava, Slovakia
Conclusion • CFA (5% Pu): • equilibrium cycle with CFA’s too short • no problems at full core evaluation (stationary states) • two criteria were not fulfilled at one of four analysed cases of control rod ejection • Directions of problems solution: • higher Pu content → CFAI (10-14% Pu) • lower in-assembly power peaking → CFAI • reduction of ejected rod efficiency by core loading optimisation • specification of conservative ejected rod efficiency for cycles with CFAI’s • specification of conservative gas gap heat transfer coefficient VUJE , Inc., Okružná 5, 918 64 Trnava, Slovakia
