dc.description.abstract | An analysis was performed in an attempt to increase the fuel burnup of the first fuel charge (first 4560 fuel bundles discharged) of the CANDU-600 MWe reactor by altering the fuelling strategy. The fuelling scheme studied involved re-inserting the two last bundles in a channel along with six fresh bundles into each refuelled channel. This scheme was compared to the eight bundle shift scheme in which eight fresh bundles are placed into a refuelled channel. The comparison was done using a coarse mesh reactor model with the FMDP computer code. Reactor operation was simulated from 0 to 350 FPD's (Full Power Days). During this period the fuel burnup of the first fuel charge was increased by 11.1%, from 5075 MWD/Te-U to 5637 MWD/Te-U. To accomplish this a 10.8 increase in the average fuelling machine rate was necessary. | en_US |
