This book was released on 2018 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the future of the nuclear fuel cycle study at MIT, a reactor with a conversion ratio around one can achieve desired objectives in the long-term sustainability of uranium and reduction of transuranic wastes. This finding relaxes the need for sodium fast reactors (SFR) in a closed-loop nuclear fuel cycle and enables high-conversion light water reactors (HC-LWR) to be used as an alternative. HC-LWRs have two major advantages over SFRs. First, apart from the reactor core, the remaining reactor system can be based on existing LWR technology. Second, extensive operating experience and a proven record of high reliability of LWRs would ease licensing and commercialization processes. Therefore, operating HC-LWRs instead of SFRs may be more economically and technically viable with lower capital and development cost for the near term. This type of reactor is being developed by Hitachi Ltd. under the name of resource-renewable boiling water reactor (RBWR). This study focuses on RBWR-TB2, transuranic burning version of RBWR. To demonstrate that the RBWR-TB2 can operate safely within design constraints and regulatory limits, the thermomechanical behavior of this reactor has been analyzed through fuel performance modeling. Due to its unique design characteristics, several physical phenomena at high temperature and high burnup typically ignored in most LWR fuel performance codes can potentially become active under RBWR’s operating conditions. These phenomena involve migration of fuel constituents and fission products, the evolution of O/M ratio with burnup, high burnup structure (HBS) formation, accelerated corrosion, hot pressing, gaseous fuel swelling, hydride precipitation and hydrogen migration in the cladding. Semi-empirical models describing porosity and cesium migration behaviors have been replaced with mechanistic models. All of these phenomena have been successfully implemented in a modified version of FRAPCON-3.5 known as FRAPCON-3.5 EP where EP stands for enhanced performance. The fuel performance comparison between RBWR-TB2 and ABWR fuel rods suggest that because of high axial peaking factors and relatively flat power history, fuel temperature is significantly higher in fissile zones of the RBWR-TB2 leading to various undesirable effects such as excessive fission gas release and cladding deformation. Local fuel burnup in fissile zones of RBWR-TB2 is multiple times higher than that of ABWR leading to excessive fuel swelling, accelerated cladding oxidation, and PCMI at fissile-blanket interfaces. Even if the RBWR-TB2 has to operate under such demanding conditions with a small margin to fuel melting, a steady-state fuel performance analysis still shows that this reactor can operate safely with an acceptable thermo-mechanical performance. In the future optimization of RBWR-TB2 performance, several fuel design strategies are recommended based on a series of sensitivity studies. The sensitivity study on key design parameters indicates that using annular fuel geometry and more hypostoichiometric fuel (lower O/M ratio) could reduce fuel temperature at high burnup. For better resistance to cladding corrosion and PCMI, it is recommended to increase cladding thickness and decrease fuel density.

Download or read book Comprehensive Nuclear Materials written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 4871 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Materials in a nuclear environment are exposed to extreme conditions of radiation, temperature and/or corrosion, and in many cases the combination of these makes the material behavior very different from conventional materials. This is evident for the four major technological challenges the nuclear technology domain is facing currently: (i) long-term operation of existing Generation II nuclear power plants, (ii) the design of the next generation reactors (Generation IV), (iii) the construction of the ITER fusion reactor in Cadarache (France), (iv) and the intermediate and final disposal of nuclear waste. In order to address these challenges, engineers and designers need to know the properties of a wide variety of materials under these conditions and to understand the underlying processes affecting changes in their behavior, in order to assess their performance and to determine the limits of operation. Comprehensive Nuclear Materials, Second Edition, Seven Volume Set provides broad ranging, validated summaries of all the major topics in the field of nuclear material research for fission as well as fusion reactor systems. Attention is given to the fundamental scientific aspects of nuclear materials: fuel and structural materials for fission reactors, waste materials, and materials for fusion reactors. The articles are written at a level that allows undergraduate students to understand the material, while providing active researchers with a ready reference resource of information. Most of the chapters from the first Edition have been revised and updated and a significant number of new topics are covered in completely new material. During the ten years between the two editions, the challenge for applications of nuclear materials has been significantly impacted by world events, public awareness, and technological innovation. Materials play a key role as enablers of new technologies, and we trust that this new edition of Comprehensive Nuclear Materials has captured the key recent developments. Critically reviews the major classes and functions of materials, supporting the selection, assessment, validation and engineering of materials in extreme nuclear environments Comprehensive resource for up-to-date and authoritative information which is not always available elsewhere, even in journals Provides an in-depth treatment of materials modeling and simulation, with a specific focus on nuclear issues Serves as an excellent entry point for students and researchers new to the field

Book excerpt: The calculation of burnup in mixed-oxide fuel pins irradiated in EBR-II is shown to agree with burnup measured by postirradiation radiochemical analysis. The mean percent deviation is 0.12% with a variance of 2.49%. This gives a high level of confidence that HIST, which uses 91% of the nominal EBR-II power, provides an accurate estimate of burnup.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of a larger program to study mixed-oxide fuel subject to high burnup, some UO2 samples were exposed and analyzed. This report discusses results from the analysis of a UO2 sample that was burned in a boiling-water reactor (BWR) to approximately 57 GWd/t. The sample enrichment was high (a U235 content of 4.94%) relative to the surrounding UO2 fuel. The isotopic content of the discharged sample was determined experimentally (both actinides and fission products), and the measured concentrations are compared with calculated values using both the Oak Ridge National Laboratory SCALE system and the HELIOS code system that is marketed by Scandpower. Because the sample enrichment differed from that of the surrounding fuel, this test was a rather stringent test of the simulation models. These results are discussed, as are the general issues surrounding the simulation of fuel burnup in a BWR.
