| Abstract: | This report describes computer studies which were done to determine the effect on burnup of modifying the heavy water reflector in a 600 MWe CANDU-PHW reactor. It is shown that the burnup penalty increases rapidly as the reflector thickness is reduced. The burnup penalty is significantly lower for mixed reflectors in which some of the heavy water in the outer region of the reflector is replaced by graphite, an organic liquid, or light water, while maintaining the original reflector thickness. |
