Abstract

This paper discusses the application of the N-Streaming concept developed at Global Nuclear Fuel for the design of a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) fuel cycle. The paper presents the N-Streaming concept and discusses the application of N-Streaming to the recent fuel cycle for Peach Bottom Unit 2 Cycle 17. It is demonstrated that the application of N-Streaming provides extra design freedom to optimize design margins allowing better operational flexibility while reducing the fuel cycle cost.
