Abstract

Abstract

This paper proposes the in-core fuel management of M310 core with 30% MOX fuels and investigates the impact on the key core wide nuclear design parameters.The paper also does some economics analysis of the corresponding fuels.The study shows that loading MOX fuel assembly in M310 is feasible technically.Economics analysis model is established,and the fuel cost for the proposed core is analyzed.The result shows that though the introduction of MOX fuel greatly increases the fuel cost,there exists the possibility to decrease the cost.
