[1H12] Reduced Enrichment Project for KUCA Fuel

*Tsuyoshi Misawa1, Hironobu Unesaki1, Yoshiyuki Takahashi1, Yasunori Kitamura1 (1. Kyoto University, Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science)

Keywords:Low enriched uranium, U-Mo fuel, U3Si2 fuel, KUCA

Reduced enrichment project for KUCA fuel has been carried out. At the light water moderated core (C-core), U3Si2 fuel will be used and U-Mo fuel will used at the solid moderated core (A and B-cores), which will be the first critical core with U-Mo fuel in the world. Detailed infomation of this new low-enriched feul and core analysis results will be presented.
