Neutronic analysis concerning the utilization of mixed U N-Pu N nitride fuel for fast reactors; Analise neutronica concernente a utilizacao de combustivel nitreto de uranio/plutonio em reatores a neutrons rapidos

Abstract

Neutronic behavior of mixed UN-PuN nitride fuel in substitution of the mixed oxide U O{sub 2} - Pu O{sub 2} for fast reactors is discussed with focus on Super Phenix I. Characteristics parameters of both cores are calculated and compared and the results presented show a great advantage for the nitride fuel, pointing out a larger performance of fuel elements in the core and an effective reduction of reactivity loss during the cycle.
