| Description | Journal: Journal of Physics: Conference Series Preliminary study of plutonium utilization in AP1000 reactor has been conducted. This study evaluated the standard of Westinghouse AP1000 reactor and $ZrB_{2}$ as Integral Fuel Burnable Absorber (IFBA). Different fuel compositions of assembly type were analyze in by using SRAC 2006 code system with JENDL 4.0 nuclear data library. This study aiming to compare the neutronics characteristics of an $UO_{2}$ and $an(U,Pu)O_{2}$ assembly designs. Some results of the study show that optimal criticality of the fuel assembly can be accomplished by using 5% enrichment of U-235 for $UO_{2}$ fuel and 8.75% plutonium fraction $for(U,Pu)O_{2}$ fuel assembly. |
