Thermalhydraulics studies examining the feasibility for introducing slightly enriched uranium fuel into the Embalse CANDU reactor
Abstract
A joint study on the technical feasibility of using 0.9% slightly enriched uranium (SEU) fuel in the Embalse CANDU reactor was performed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) and Nucleoeléctrica Argentina S.A. (NASA). The feasibility study focused on the following technical areas: reactor physics and fuel management, fuel performance, and safety. Part of the safety assessment involved detailed thermalhydraulics analyses of three accident …
