OSTI ID:4801370
A single-point model is developed to represent the performance of Magnox cores on the assumptions that maximum channel output is independent of coolant flow and temperatures. Using the basic geometry and temperature data, specified comparisons of six U.K. power reactors are made. Minimization computations are also carried out for the uranium inventory of reactor cores of given outputs. The uranium inventory is regarded as a function of three independent variables, the fuel rod diameter, the lattice pitch, and the active core length. The results from these computations are used to calculate possible fuel costs. (auth)
