Comparative Study of Spectral Regulation Range of Excess Reactivity Control in Pressurized Water Reactors Using Zirconium Displacers for Uranium and Thorium Fuel Cycles

The compensation for the excess reactivity in the pressurized water reactors WWER is realized with high neutron absorber materials. The traditional excess reactivity regulation methods lead to unfeasible neutron utilization and reduce the breeding coefficient and fuel burnup. In the current work, th...
