Introduction of In-Core fuel management for TNPS
20th Symposium of AER on VVER Reactor Physics and Reactor Safety (2010, Hanasaari, Espoo, Finland)
Core Design and Operation
Abstract
Tianwan Nuclear Power Station (TNPS) owns two VVER-1000 reactors imported from
Russia at present. The two reactors are put into commercial operation in 2007 and operating
in the 4th fuel cycle in 2010. This report briefly describes the characteristics of fuel assemblies
and in-core loadings for TNPS? VVER-1000 reactors under annual refueling scheme. As well
as the plan of 18-month fuel cycle, which will be introduced to TNPS? VVER-1000 reactors
in the future, is presented in the report.
