3D Reactor Physics Modelling Of Reduced-Moderation Water Reactor (RMWR) Fuel
The Reduced-Moderation Water Reactor (RMWR) is an innovative water-cooled reactor with some of the characteristics of a fast neutron reactor, which can achieve a high conversion ratio of more than 1.0 and a negative void reactivity coefficient. The conception of RMWR is built on established Boiling …

The use of reduced-moderation light water reactors for transuranic isotope burning in thorium fuel
… hence the reactor is unsafe to operate. Use of reduced-moderation LWRs can improve TRU transmutation performance, but the VC is still severely limiting for these designs. Reduced-moderation pressurized water reactors (RMPWRs) and boiling water reactors (RBWRs) are considered in this study. Using …

Thermomechanical analysis of innovative nuclear fuel pin designs
… temperature to decrease the cladding oxidation. Reduced-moderation Water Reactor (RMWR) is a boiling water reactor proposed to operate with mixed oxide fuel and, a harder neutron spectrum and higher local fuel burnup compared to the traditional Light Water Reactors. The fissile content of the …
