  • Design and analysis of a nuclear reactor core for innovative small light water reactors

    Creator:
    Soldatov, Alexey I.
    Abstract:
    In order to address the energy needs of developing countries and remote communities, Oregon State University has proposed the Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR) design. In order to achieve five years of operation without refueling, use of 8% enriched fuel is necessary. This dissertation is focused on core design...

  • Extension of fuel burnup in light water reactors by using a strict in-out refueling scheme

    Creator:
    Yen, Julian Yu-liang
    Abstract:
    To utilize energy resources as efficiently as possible has become a necessity today. The purpose of this study is to see how this can be done by extending burnup in a light water reactor. Specifically, an in-out refueling scheme might extract the maximum energy from nuclear fuel during its redidence...
