The development of nuclear fuel for the future

Abstract

Goal is to develop nuclear fuels which can improve the safety and economics of nuclear power generation and enhance the effective use of uranium resources. The fuels are aimed for successive power plants after the year 2000. To achieve these goals, it is necessary to analyse characteristics of advanced concept fuels based on currently available fuel design and manufacturing technology and to establish new design and manufacturing technology for the new concept fuels. This first year of the project focused on 1) technical feasibility evaluation of application of existing technology to advanced concept fuel such as extra-high BU fuel or other improved feature fuel, 2) analysis of domestic and foreign circumstances for advanced concept fuel development and drawing-out of plans for its development, and 3) securing of basic technology for development. For analysis of nuclear fuel characteristics, expected change in design parameters at high BU has been evaluated and fuel cycle evaluation models were improved for development of fuel cycle strategy with high BU fuel. For verification and improvement of design methodology, technical feasibility of application of the existing nuclear design system to advanced fuel has been analysed and thermal-hydraulic analysis methodology is under improvement for more thermal design margin.  More>>

For review of state-of-the-art and study of developmental plans, trends and circumstances of nuclear fuel development in foreign countries have been analysed and several domestic developmental plans were identified. For development of advanced nuclear fuel fabrication technology, preliminary experiments for mixing of additives with UO{sub 2} powder were performed and state-of-the-art of new fabrication techniques which are under development in recent years were analysed...}
