Enhancing the efficiency of the MOX fuel cycle for VVER-1200 using burnable absorbers

Margin adoption in a nuclear power plant (NPP) design is a frequent approach to strengthen the design’s robustness and provide an efficient way to handle uncertainties. However, the current trend of increasing fuel enrichment, including the use of MOX fuel to achieve a higher burnup, leads to non-un...
