The Palisades nuclear plant has been implementing a low-leakage core design beginning with cycle 8 to address the pressurized thermal shock (PTS) rule. The fast neutron flux that reaches the reactor vessel has been significantly reduced through fuel management. These flux reduction measures have delayed the date for reaching the PTS screening criteria; however, fuel management alone has not yet been successful in extending the PTS screening criteria date beyond the present end of operating licensed life (EOL). This paper describes the fluence reduction measures that have been taken to date at Palisades.
