Investigation of Fuel Burnup Impacts on Nuclear Reactor Safety Parameters in the Canadian Pressure Tube Supercritical Water-Cool Reactor

摘要

∞ with burnup as expected. Other impacts such as the presence of protactinium and uranium-233 are also discussed. When the feedback coefficients are assessed in terms of reactivity, there is considerable variation as a function of fuel depletion; however, when assessed as Δk (without normalization to the reference reactivity which changes with burnup), the net changes are almost invariant with depletion.]]>
