An evolutionary fuel assembly design for high power density BWRs
An evolutionary BWR fuel assembly design was studied as a means to increase the power density of current and future BWR cores. The new assembly concept is based on replacing four traditional assemblies and large water gap regions with a single large assembly. The traditional BWR cylindrical …

Development of a Multi-Objective Optimization Capability for Heterogeneous Light Water Reactor Fuel Assemblies
… on developed nations to move away from fossil fuel-based energy sources, so does the potential for nuclear energy to make its resurgence. However, the complex nature of the design process in nuclear engineering and a regulatory culture of ever-increasing safety standards create unique …

Feasibility of breeding in hard spectrum boiling water reactors with oxide and nitride fuels
… assesses the neutronic, thermal-hydraulic, and fuel performance aspects of using nitride fuel in place of oxides in Pu-based high conversion light water reactor designs. Using the higher density nitride fuel hardens the neutron energy spectrum and results in higher breeding ratios. The …
