Abstract

This work calculates the required assembly number of spent fuel pool reactor loaded with spent fuels of Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station, and analyses the influence of Xe-135, Sm-149 and Pu-241 on reactivity and the relationships between cycle length and spent fuel storage time. A way of prolonging cycle length by drawing all gadolinium rods is also given, and then a core layout is designed. Nuclear analysis of this layout further shows that this type of reactor is realizable.
- Spent fuel pool reactor,
- Cycle length,
- Water-uranium ratio,
- Spent fuel storage time
