摘要:
The present invention has as an object to provide a reactor core for light water cooled reactor, a fuel assembly (3, 4) and a control rod (5, 10) intended for Pu multi-recycling at a breeding ratio of about 1.0, or 1.0 or more while keeping the economical or safety performance to the same level as in BWR now under operation, that is, while minimizing the change for the incore structures and maintaining the void coefficient negative. A reactor core for a light water cooled reactor having an effective fuel-to-water volume ratio of 0.1 to 0.6 by the combination of a dense lattice fuel assembly (1) constituted of fuel rods formed by adding Pu to degraded uranium, natural uranium, depleted uranium or low concentrated uranium, coolants at high void fraction of 45 % to 70 % and a cluster-type, Y-type or cruciform control rod.

The present invention relates to a control rod (2) to be inserted between fuel assemblies loaded to a reactor core for a boiling water reactor, wherein wings (5) are arranged such that each spacing between the wings is 120 degrees and center lines extending from the respective wings in a horizontal cross section of the control rod constitute a regular triangle. Further the invention relates to a reactor core for a boiling water reactor having hexagonal fuel assemblies (1; 6; 9) containing fuels comprising uranium enriched with plutonium or plutonium and actinoid nuclides and Y-type control rods, wherein the Y-type control rod is a control rod according to claim 1, and the hexagonal fuel assembly has fuel rods (3) arranged in a regular triangular lattice pattern so as to form three sets of fuel rod rows, each set of fuel rod rows are parallel with a pair of opposing sides of the hexagonal fuel assembly, and the number of rows in two sets of fuel rod rows is equal to each other and is greater by one row than that of the remaining one set of fuel rod rows among the three sets of fuel rod rows.
