Abstract

Abstract

Taishan nuclear power plant（TNPS） has adopted CEPR technology, the 3rdgeneration PWR. Larger core scale provides lower linear power density and higher neutron economy. Mode T used in the control rods can improve the efficiency and reduce the wear of control rods. Using enriched boron optimizes the coolant chemistry. 18-month fuel management is introduced from the initial core. This feature improves the fuel economy in maximum.
