    摘要: A core of a light water reactor has a plurality of fuel assemblies. The fuel assemblies include a plurality of fuel rods in which a lower end is supported by a lower tie-plate and an upper end is supported by an upper tie-plate. The fuel rods form plenums above a nuclear fuel material zone and have a neutron absorbing material filling zone under the nuclear fuel material zone. Neutron absorbing members attached to the upper tie-plate are disposed between mutual plenums of the neighboring fuel rods above the nuclear fuel material zone. The neutron absorbing members have a length of 500 mm and are positioned at a distance of 300 mm from the nuclear fuel material zone. Even if the overall core is assumed to become a state of 100% void, no positive reactivity is inserted to the core.

    摘要: A fuel assembly of the present invention comprises fuel rods which are arranged in 9 rows and 9 columns (9.times.9) in a channel box. The channel box has a width L between outer walls thereof and a width D between inner walls thereof, both of which satisfy the following equation:0.12.ltoreq.(P-L)/Dwherein P denotes the fuel assembly pitch in a reactor core. A sufficient cold shutdown margin for a reactor core can be secured by determining the widths L and D so as to satisfy the above-described equation, even if the average enrichment of the fuel assembly is increased to 4 wt % or more.

    摘要: In a light water moderation type nuclear reactor with the once-through method, the reactor core is divided into a central area and a peripheral area by a partition member, a first fuel assembly is arranged in the central area (high conversion area) and a second fuel assembly is arranged in the peripheral area. The ratio (r.sub.H/U) of the number of hydrogen atoms to that of uranium atoms in the central area is smaller than that of the ratio in the peripheral area and the second fuel assembly in the peripheral area is formed of fuel rods of the first fuel assembly having been previously burned in the central area and moved into the peripheral area. The plutonium production increases and uranium consumption is reduced during the first half of the lifetime of the fuel rods in the high conversion area with the take-up burn up increasing during the second half of the lifetime of the fuel rods in the burner area.

    摘要: A boiling water type nuclear reactor adapted to be operated at a void quality (weight ratio of vapor in the coolant) of coolant at the core outlet of 17% or higher. By adopting this level of void quality, a void quality exceeding 8.5% is available at least in the upper half region of the core which in turn provides a void fraction of 66% or higher. Consequently, it is possible to reduce the enrichment of the fuel, so as to allow a more efficient use of the fuel. At the same time, due to the reduced power generating rate, the range over which the flow rate of coolant is controlled is widened, so that it becomes possible to change the reactivity solely by controlling the flow rate of the coolant. It is therefore possible to operate the reactor over whole operation cycle with its control rods fully withdrawn.
