Abstract:
On the basis of the annular fuel for PWR,a new type annular fuel for SCWR has been designed in this paper,which has bigger size than that of PWRs,adopts UO
2 particles instead of fuel pellets and coats heat-barrier material on the surface of the inner cladding.Then a new 1000MWe SCWR design concept CSR1000A has been developed,whose core consists of 163 hexagonal fuel assemblies that are made up with 61 new annular fuels and assembly box.After CSR1000A core evaluation,these core key parameters such as discharge burnup,coolant averaged outlet temperature and maximum fuel cladding temperature are presented.
