- W4283163669 abstract "Abstract Axial power peaking is a phenomenon with safety implications for pressure tube heavy water reactors (PT-HWRs). Since PT-HWRs use shorter (∼50 cm) bundles, there are small axial gaps, which expose the ends of the fuel elements to more neutron flux, and therefore results in higher power density levels occurring in the ends of the fuel elements. Power peaking has the potential to cause fuel damage and failure, if the local linear element rating (LER) exceeds 57 kW/m, and may be of greater concern for advanced, higher burnup fuels. Earlier studies have been done using three-dimensional mcnp models of a PT-HWR fuel bundle with slightly enriched uranium; they demonstrated that ThO2 could be used to reduce axial power peaking in fresh fuel. This result was achieved by replacing some of the UO2 with ThO2 in the last 3 cm of fuel pellets at each end of a fuel bundle. This study extends the previous work by performing 3D neutronics and burnup calculations using serpent, to evaluate how power peaking changes with burnup. In addition, alternative dilution materials (such as depleted UO2, ZrO2, and MgO) were also evaluated. It was found that axial power peaking can be significantly reduced by using the ThO2 dilution material for fresh fuel, while ZrO2 or MgO are even more effective at higher burnup levels. Dilution materials have little impact (less than 2%) on the exit burnup of the fuel." @default.
