Comparison of LEU Fuel Designs for the NBSR and a Replacement Reactor Concept

摘要

Both the NBSR conversion core and the NCNR Replacement Reactor Concept core are designed to use high-density U-10Mo monolithic fuel. Assuming that testing of this fuel under the operating parameters of each reactor design is successful in qualifying it for use, it will be a suitable fuel for meeting both safety and neutron science requirements.
