USE OF THE AREVA BWR CRUD MODEL TO STUDY HIGH ZINC OPERATION AT A US PLANT

摘要

The Paper presents the results of applying the AREVA NP Inc. BWR Crud Model to determine the effect a high zinc injection operational program at a US Plant has on the fuel.The paper explains the AREVA NP Inc. BWR Crud Model capabilities and its role in the AREVA Fuel Risk Assessment Strategy.Simulated crud characteristics are analyzed along the 6 years of the fuel's operation and then compared with actual crud analysis results. Also a number of "What If scenarios are explored and their results are placed in the context of the fuel operation risk assessment.
