Abstract

The objective of this calculation is to document the Grand Gulf Unit 1 (GGl) reactivity calculations for sixteen critical statepoints inĀ· cycles 4 through 8. The GG1 reactor is a boiling water reactor (BWR) owned and operated by Entergy Operations Inc. The Commercial Reactor Criticality (CRC) evaluations support the development and validation of the neutronic models used for criticality analyses involving commercial spent nuclear fuel to be placed in a geologic repository. This calculation is performed as part of the evaluation in the CRC program.
This report is an engineering calculation supporting the burnup credit methodology of the Yucca Mountain Project (YMP) 2000 (Reference 5 ) and was performed under Framatome ANP Administrative Procedure 0402-01, Preparing and Processing FANP Calculations (Reference 4) and Framatome Quality Management Manual (Reference 8).
