| Popis: |
The fuel pin geometry used in the Fast Test Reactor (FTR) and considered for use in a prototypic small breeder installation has been evaluated through a comprehensive development program during recent years so that an extensive data base exists for extrapolation of the FTR fuel pin and geometry to larger installations. The objectives of the Large Heterogeneous Reference Fuel Design Study (LHRFDS) were to evaluate the performance capabilities of the reference FTR fuel pin in a 1200 MWe reactor plant installation and to identify a corresponding optimum core design. For purposes of the study, a reference fuel assembly was defined, corresponding to the FTR fuel pin with axial blankets placed in a 217-pin assembly. The reference assembly was used to define a reference core, which approximated FTR technology extrapolated to prototypic small breeder conditions. Performance indices of the reference core were provided by ARD during the study. |
