A Burnup Credit Methodology for PWR Spent Fuel Pool

Abstract

[ES] El concepto de dar crédito a la reducción de la reactividad por efecto del quemado del elemento combustible se denomina comúnmente Crédito al Quemado. En este trabajo se presenta una metodología en desarrollo para dar crédito al quemado. El objeto es determinar la curva de carga, que determina el lugar de almacenamiento del elemento en la piscina.

[EN] The concept of taking credit for the reduction in reactivity due to fuel burnup is commonly referred to as Burnup Credit. In this work a methodology for giving Burnup Credit in development is presented. The final goal is to obtain the loading curve that determines the region on a spent fuel storage pool in which a fuel element must be stored.
