METHODS OF MOVING FUEL ASSEMBLIES IN FISSION NUCLEAR REACTOR (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G21C7/08 

Abstract RU 2562063 C2

FIELD: physics, atomic power.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to operation of travelling-wave reactors. A method of operating a reactor includes a step where the travelling wave burning front propagates along first and second dimensions in multiple fuel subassemblies in the reactor core, and a step where said subassemblies are controllably moved along a first direction, which determines the shape of the burning front. Controlled movement of the subassemblies along the first dimension is carried out radially and helically.

EFFECT: optimising the nuclear fuel burning mode and increasing the burn-out level thereof.
