A one-dimensional fuel burnup model of a PWR
A fuel burnup model of a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) was developed based on one-group diffusion theory and used simple thermal cross sections. A computer program which simulates the depletion of the core of a PWR was written based on this model. The basic idea was to develop a fuel depletion pro...
