Variable goal exposure plans for production type fuel elements

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit revisions to the goal exposure plans of reference (1). The plans, herein, supersede the previous recommendations. Similar to the plans of reference (1), the exposures calculated from these plans are designed to maximize plant return on the basis that the only restraint on metal usage is that imposed by the economics of the plutonium production process and associated uranium cycle, as described and defined in references (2) and (3). When metal throughput is limited by ex-reactor physical capabilities to a level lower than the unrestrained requirements, exposures higher than those recommended in … continued below

Description

The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit revisions to the goal exposure plans of reference (1). The plans, herein, supersede the previous recommendations. Similar to the plans of reference (1), the exposures calculated from these plans are designed to maximize plant return on the basis that the only restraint on metal usage is that imposed by the economics of the plutonium production process and associated uranium cycle, as described and defined in references (2) and (3). When metal throughput is limited by ex-reactor physical capabilities to a level lower than the unrestrained requirements, exposures higher than those recommended in this document would be indicated, as explained in reference (4). In essence then, these plans represent minimum economical exposures for current production fuel types, on the basis of attempting to maximize plant returns. The adjustments recommended herein, stem solely from revised estimates of the metal performance level indices (C{sub R} values) of the various metal types.
