Application of Np–Am Mixture in Production of <sup>238</sup>Pu in a VVER-1000 Reactor and the Reactivity Effect Caused by Loss-of-Coolant Accident in the Central Np–Am Fuel Assembly

Application of Np–Am Mixture in Production of <sup>238</sup>Pu in a VVER-1000 Reactor and the Reactivity Effect Caused by Loss-of-Coolant Accident in the Central Np–Am Fuel Assembly

This paper presents the results obtained from numerical evaluations for the possibility of large-scale <sup>238</sup>Pu production in the light-water VVER-1000 reactor and the reactivity effect caused by the loss-of-coolant accident in the central fuel assembly of the reactor core. This...
