Oconee 1, cycle 5 design report

The Oconee 1, cycle 5 fuel cycle was designed to irradiate five fuel assemblies to a burnup of approximately 40,000 MWd/mtU. The fuel cycle design was performed using standard Babcock and Wilcox calculational techniques for nuclear fuel cycles. All applicable design criteria were satisfied. Valuable experimental data on the performance characteristics of high-burnup fuel assemblies will be obtained from these assemblies in subsequent post-irradiation examinations.
