摘要:
A ratio of the number of fuel assemblies loaded on a core to the number of control rod drive mechanisms is 3 or more. The fuel assembly itself contains mixed oxides of a low enrichment concentration uranium oxide containing 3 to 8 wt % in the average enrichment concentration of the fuel assembly, or mixed oxide containing not less than 2 wt %, but less than 6 wt % in the average enrichment concentration of fissile plutonium. In the burner type BWR core on which the fuel assemblies are loaded, an average weight density of uranium, plutonium and minor actinides is 2.1 to 3.4 kg/L as a conversion at the value of unburned state.
摘要:
The core flow rate of a boiling water reactor (BWR) (19) is adjusted so that it reaches a core flow rate setting that is determined from the characteristic according to the ratio of Pu-239 in transuranic nuclides (TRU) included in a new fuel assembly (1) to be loaded in a core (20). The core flow rate is maintained at the set core flow rate in all operation cycles of the BWR (19). Accordingly, the ratios of a plurality of TRU isotopes included in a fuel assembly (1) when the fuel assembly (1) is taken out of the BWR core (20) as a spent fuel is substantially the same as the ratios of the plurality of TRU isotopes included in a new fuel assembly (1) to be loaded in the BWR core (20). The ratio of Pu-239 in TRU included in the new fuel assembly (1) is 3% or more but 45% or less. As a result, a nuclear proliferation resistance can be increased while restrictive conditions for safety are met, a burnup can be further increased, and TRU multi-recycling becomes feasible.

A core (20) of a light water reactor (19) having a plurality of fuel assemblies (1) including a plurality of isotopes of transuranic nuclides, wherein a ratio of Pu-239 in all of said transuranic nuclides included in said loaded fuel assembly (1) with a burnup of 0, is 3 % or more but less than 40 %.
