ENHANCED NUCLEAR SAFETY OF SPENT FUEL
The Proceedings of the International Conference on Nuclear Engineering (ICONE), 2019 Criticality safety analysis of highly enriched nuclear fuels requires sophisticated calculation techniques like burnup credit in order to show that fuel reactivity is below legislative limits. However, new fuel types are continuously introduced and the increase of the boron concentration in the absorbing tubes of spent fuel pool racks or spent fuel ...
