OSTI ID:5062024
Different 1200 MWe heterogeneous core configurations have been evaluated and compared with a homogeneous 1200 MWe LMFBR design. This study discusses the neutronic coupling concept which was employed to discriminate between different heterogeneous core designs. Reactivity control, breeding performance, safety parameters, fuel pin optimization, transient behavior and thermal performance were investigated in detail and results of these analyses are presented.
