The feasibility of a reload strategy based on fixing the locations of once-burnt fuel between cycles has been evaluated for the Perry nuclear power plant (Perry). This strategy can reduce refueling shuffle critical path time by 3 days without penalty in fuel cycle economics. The scheme works well for Perry because of the extreme cycle energy requirements and the large feed batch size needed to meet those requirements. Cores requiring less energy and a smaller feed batch size have not been investigated.
