    摘要: A fuel assembly for use in a core of a nuclear power reactor. The assembly includes a frame shaped and configured to fit within the nuclear reactor internal core structure; and a plurality of helically twisted fuel elements supported by the frame in a fuel rod bundle. Each of the fuel elements includes fissile material. When viewed in a cross-section that is perpendicular to an axial direction of the fuel assembly, the outermost fuel elements of the fuel rod bundle define a substantially circular perimeter. Other features, and a nuclear reactor, are also described.

    摘要: A method is provided for operating a nuclear reactor. The method includes operating the nuclear reactor for an initial cycle during which a core contains initial nuclear fuel assemblies; then operating the nuclear reactor for transition cycles, at least some of the initial nuclear fuel assemblies being progressively replaced, during the replacement steps preceding the transition cycles, with transition nuclear fuel assemblies or with plutonium-equilibrium nuclear fuel assemblies; and then operating the nuclear reactor for at least one plutonium equilibrium cycle during which the core contains only plutonium-equilibrium nuclear fuel assemblies.

    摘要: [Problem to be Solved] To provide a fuel rod and a fuel assembly that can make thermal power uniform along an axial direction and lengthen an operation cycle.[Solution] In a first fuel rod 41 and a second fuel rod 42 each containing nuclear fuel and burnable poison for reducing a nuclear reaction of the nuclear fuel to be loaded in a pressurized water reactor, the gadolinium content rate of the first fuel rod 41 and the second fuel rod 42 is increased from both end portions toward a center portion in an axial direction. In a fuel assembly including the first fuel rod 41 and the second fuel rod 42, the first fuel rod 41 and the second fuel rod 42 are loaded in such a manner that a large percentage of the second fuel rod 42 that is a low-gadolinium fuel rod is arranged on an outer side than the first fuel rod 41 that is a high-gadolinium fuel rod.
