Fuel consolidation equipment being designed and built for use at repositories or reactor sites have the common design objectives of maximizing packing and throughput while minimizing contamination and personnel exposure. In establishing design parameters for these systems, it is necessary to consider limiting cases. The effects of burnup could impact adversely on the operation and throughput of consolidation equipment. If proper consideration is given during the design process to high-burnup fuel, however, these impacts can be minimized. For the limiting cases of 60 GWd/ton U for pressurized water reactor (PWR) fuel and 50 GWd/ton U for boiling water reactor fuel, the impact of burnup on equipment design is assessed and equipment design applications are suggested.
