Isotopic Composition of Actinides and Fission Products in the Irradiated Fuel of the 10 MW Low Enriched PARR (Pakistan Research Reactor) Reference Core

摘要

In the frame work of PARR core conversion from highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel and its power upgrading from 5 MW to 10 MW, isotopic compositions of actinides and fission products in the irradiated fuel of a 10 MW low enriched PARR reference core have been calculated. These calculations have been performed as a function of fuel burnup ranging from 5% to 50%.
