Conceptual design of a 1000-MW(e) heterogeneous oxide LMFBR. Volume 2. Appendixes. Final report
A numerical core/blanket design is presented for a large, 1000-MW(e) LMFBR that has a much lower sodium void coefficient of reactivity than would be the case for a core assembly made up entirely of fuel subassemblies with an appropriate number of control rods. This volume contains appendices on: optimization of control rod position, axial blanket, radial blanket residence time, and enrichment zoning; cycle length sensitivity analysis; RZ vs HEX-Z sodium void reactivity; thermal-hydraulic analysis of 0.26-in fuel pin dia; fuel life analysis; pin diameter selection; fuel management; natural B/sub 4/C control rod; flow split analysis; blanket power/flow ratio and sodium boiling incoherency; and vented duct design.
