NEUP CINR-21-23984: Safety Implications of High Burnup Fuel for a 2-Year PWR Fuel Cycle

The objective of this project is to perform safety analysis of high burnup fuel for a Westinghouse 4-Loop Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR). The work aims to identify potential opportunities and gaps for high burnup fuel by utilizing both well-established and modern methodologies to model reactor physics, thermal-hydraulics, plant system-level response that ultimately provide feedback to fuel performance analysis.
