ANS - 8.27

Burnup Credit for LWR Fuel

inactive
Organization: ANS
Publication Date: 1 January 2008
Status: inactive
Page Count: 13
scope:

This standard provides criteria for accounting for reactivity effects of fuel irradiation and radioactive decay in criticality safety control of storage, transportation, and disposal of commercial LWR UO2 fuel assemblies.

This standard assumes the fuel and any fixed burnable absorbers are contained in an intact assembly. Additional considerations could be necessary for fuel assemblies that have been disassembled, consolidated, damaged, or reconfigured in any manner.
