CRC Reactivity Calculations for Crystal River Unit 3

The purpose of this calculation is to document the Crystal River Unit 3 pressurized waste reactor (PWR) reactivity calculations performed as part of the commercial reactor critical (CRC) evaluation program. CRC evaluation reactivity calculations are performed at a number of statepoints, representing reactor start-up critical conditions at either beginning of life (BOL), beginning of cycle (BOC), or mid-cycle when the reactor resumed operation after a shutdown.

Commercial Reactor Reactivity Analysis for Grand Gulf, Unit 1

The objective of this calculation is to document the Grand Gulf Unit 1 (GGl) reactivity calculations for sixteen critical statepoints in· 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.

Summary Report of Commercial Reactor Critical Analyses Performed for the Disposal Criticality Analysis Methodology

The "Summary Report of Commercial Reactor Critical Analyses Perfonned for the Disposal Criticality Analysis Methodology" contains a summary of the commercial reactor critical (CRC) analyses used to support the validation of the criticality models for spent commercial light water reactor (LWR) fuel.

CRC Depletion Calculations for Three Mile Island Unit 1

The purpose of this calculation is to document the Three Mile Island Unit 1 pressurized water reactor (PWR) fuel depletion calculations performed as part of the commercial reactor critical (CRC) evaluation program. The CRC evaluations support the development and validation of the neutronics models used for criticality analyses involving commercial spent nuclear fuel in a geologic repository.

CRC Depletion Calculations for Quad Cities Unit 2

The purpose of this calculation is to document the Quad Cities Unit 2 boiling water reactor (BWR) fuel depletion calculations performed as part of the commercial reactor critical (CRC) evaluation program. The CRC evaluations constitute benchmark calculations that support the development and validation of the neutronics models used for criticality analyses involving commercial spent nuclear fuel in a geologic repository. The revision of this calculation incorporates control blade effects and minor variations in the SAS2H assembly modeling.
