EFFECT ON POWER COST OF SUBSTITUTING ALUMINUM FOR ZIRCONIUM FUEL CLADDING IN A BOILING WATER REACTOR
0
TL;DRAbstract
The substitution of Al-clad for Zr-clad fuel necessitates reducing the operating temperature. The amount of saving that must be made in fabrication and chemical reprocessing to overcome the cost of operating at reduced thermal efficiency is estimated for a boiling water reactor. (auth)
