A reduced-boron opr1000 core based on the bigt burnable absorber... This paper presents a preliminary investigation of a reduced-boron pressurized water reactor core to achieve a clearly negative moderator temperature coefficient at hot zero power using the newly-proposed “Burnable absorber-Integrated Guide Thimble” (BigT) absorbers....
An advanced core design for a soluble-boron-free small modular reactor atom with centrally-shielded burnable absorberA complete solution for a soluble-boron-free (SBF) small modular reactor (SMR) is pursued with a new burnable absorber concept, namely centrally-shielded burnable absorber (CSBA)....
Assessment of burnable absorber fuel design by uwb1 depletion codeUWB1 depletion code is being developed as a fast computational tool for the study of burnable absorbers in University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Czech Republic....
Report on the evaluation of the tritium producing burnable absorber rod lead test assembly. revision 1This report describes the design and fabrication requirements for a tritium-producing burnable absorber rod lead test assembly and evaluates the safety issues associated with tritium-producing burnable absorber rod irradiation on the operation of a commercial light...
