Abstract
The purpose of this calculation is to determine the required minimum burnup as a function of initial pressurized water reactor (PWR) assembly enrichment that would permit loading of fuel into the 21 PWR waste package (WP), as provided for in QAP-2-0 Activity Evaluation, Perform Criticality, Thermal, Structural, & Shielding Analyses (Reference 7.1). The results are intended to show that PWR spent nuclear fuel (SNF) assemblies whose actual burnup exceeds the required minimum burnup may be loaded into a 21 PWR waste package with a stainless steel/boron criticality control basket design.
