Analysis the Design Burnup of Commercial Spent Fuel Reprocessing Plant
Burnup parameters are an important foundation for the design of spent fuel reprocessing plant,related to the characteristics and burnup depth of spent fuel processed by the plant,and affecting professional design such as process,criticality,and radiation protection,especially the economy of plant construction.The diversified development of nuclear power reactor types in China has led to slight differences in the initial enrichment of new fuel in nuclear power plants,and significant differences in the burnup of spent fuel produced.The design of commercial reprocessing plant needs to consider issues such as the envelopment of reprocess all the spent fuel,the economy of the plant,and the applicability of the product.Therefore,designing burnup has become a focus of industry attention and discussion.This paper studies the core fuel management scheme of the nuclear reactor which spent fuel reprocessed by the China's commercial reprocessing plant,calculates and analyzes the burnup of spent fuel,evaluates the impact of design burnup on China's commercial reprocessing plant,and gives suggestions on the design burnup of commercial reprocessing plant.
