Radial flattening of the power distribution … Radial flux(and power) flattening can be achieved by differential fuelling, i. e. taking the fuel to a higher burnup in inner core regions than in outer core regions. This can be done by judicious adjustment of the relative refuelling rates in the different core regions. In this way the flux and power in the outer region can be increased, resulting in a greater number of channels having power close to the maximum value. 1, record 5, English, - radial%20flattening

Changes in the isotopic composition during fuel burnup which result in a reduced reactivity can be conveniently characterized by the reduction of the net fissile content, the build-up of actinides, the increase of the concentration of fission products, and the reduction of burnable absorber concentration where applicable. In practice, the conservative use of burnup credit requires consideration of all fissile isotopes, and allows consideration of any neutron absorbing isotopes for which properties and quantities are known with sufficient certainty. 3, record 6, English, - burnup%20credit

Durant ces dernières années, un effort de recherche important a été consacré au «crédit burn-up» qui a pour objectif de prendre en considération l’irradiation des combustibles nucléaires dans les calculs de criticité, cette prise en considération permettant, sans risque de criticité, d’augmenter les quantités de combustibles usés dans les emballages de transport ou dans les installations de retraitement. Jusqu’au début des années 1990, de façon pénalisante, le combustible usé était considéré comme neuf pour dimensionner les emballages de transports et les installations. Aujourd’hui, ce «crédit burn-up» n’est encore que partiellement utilisé et des études se poursuivent pour en généraliser l’usage. 2, record 6, French, - cr%C3%A9dit%20burnup
