Impact of recent ENDF nuclear data update, high initial enrichment and high burnup fuel on critical experiments applicability determination via the integral index ck for burnup credit validation
In 2012, NUREG/CR-7109 reported on the validation of burnup credit calculations involving major and minor actinides and major fission products which was investigated for pressurized and boiling water reactor (PWR and BWR) fuel enrichments up to 5 wt% 235U and assembly-average burnups up to 60 GWd/MTU. Recently, there has been interest in increasing the maximum enrichment u…

Nuclear Data–Induced Uncertainties in Criticality Safety Analyses for High-Burnup and Extended Enrichment Fuels
Criticality safety analyses are conducted to show compliance with regulatory standards and to demonstrate safe operational conditions during the storage and transportation of spent nuclear fuel. Given the increased interest in the industry in low-enriched uranium plus (LEU+) and higher-burnup fuel, it is important to study the impact of such fuels’ use on criticality safet…
