Abstract in English
This analysis deals with the evaluation of the fuel burnup behavior for PWR-1150
reactor assembly by modifying with changing both, the number of fuel rod which have
burnable absorber (BA) and the percent weight of BA in each rod. The achieved result
presented in this paper enables determine the suitable structure of reactor assembly
when fuel enrichment equal to 4.4%.
The GETERA 90 code was used to perform assembly burnup calculation. For
validation purposes they are compared with selected experimental data for similar
reactor.
