An evaluation of tight-pitch PWR cores
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1979-08)
The impact of tight pitch cores on the consumption of natural uranium
ore has been evaluated for two systems of coupled PWR's namely one particular
type of thorium system-U-235/U02: Pu/Th02: U-233/ThO2--and the ...
Design and fuel management of PWR cores to optimize the once-through fuel cycle
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1978-08)
The once-through fuel cycle has been analyzed to see if there are substantial prospects for improved uranium ore utilization in current
light water reactors, with a specific focus on pressurized water reactors.
The ...
Analysis of strategies for improving uranium utilization in pressurized water reactors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Energy Laboratory, 1981, 1981)
Systematic procedures have been devised and applied to evaluate core design and fuel management strategies for improving uranium utilization in Pressurized Water Reactors operated on a once-through fuel cycle. A principal ...
