Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Department of Nuclear Engineering TK1001.M41 E56 no.82-032 TK9008.M41 N96 no.252 Pressurized water reactors Uranium as fuel Includes bibliographical references This is the final summary progress report on a research program carried out within the MIT Energy Laboratory/Nuclear Engineering Department under the US Department of Energy's program to increase the effectiveness of uranium utilization in light water reactors on the once-through fuel cycle. Two major themes, methodology and applications, characterize the research. A simple built accurate set of algorithms, designated as "the linear reactivity method" were developed to permit self-consistent evaluations of a broad spectrum of changes in core design and fuel management tactics. More than a dozen suggested improvements were then evaluated, focusing primarily on retrofittable modifications and pressurized water reactors. In common with the findings of many other investigators, high burnup and routine end-of-cycle coastdown were identified as preferred options. Division of Energy Technology, U.S. Dept. of Energy.
