Preliminary Research of MOX Fuel Assembly Management in ACP1000

Based on the SCIENCE code package, the MOX fuel assembly was designed for ACP1000 core. The fuel management of ACP1000 core with part MOX fuel assembly was preliminary studied, and moreover, the fuel management scheme, converting whole UO₂ fuel core to part MOX fuel core, was proposed. The security parameters and nuclear design parameters were investigated. The results show that it is feasible by using MOX fuel assembly in ACP1000 core.
