Burn-up assessments for a land-based power reactor. Project DRAGON

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4115254
;
One of the main purposes of the Dragon Reactor Experiment is to test fuel elements suitable for a land based power reactor with the same principle features as the Dragon Reactor itself. In order to incorporate some fuel elements into the first charge which are realistic simulations of a power reactor fuel element, the performance of a 1000 MW(thermal) power reactor as a function of power density, fuel loading and thorium to uranium ratio was studied. This report deals only with batch loadings. A comparison with other investigations which include recycling and reshuffling is difficult.
