Summary
Analyses of the composite improved PWR have been completed. The initial four cycles and the equilibrium cycle were calculated explicitly, the latter by leading batch-averaged nuclide concentrations as estimated by previous work and then performing several depletion calculations until the loading and cycle length were well established. The resulting equilibrium composite improvements in U/sub 3/O/sub 8/ and separative work are 22.5% and 9.7%, respectively. Further, data on the composite case is shown in Table 1, with additional comments on the feasibility and acceptability of this case are given. Work is nearly completed on the review of required licensing submittal data and on the comparison of this required data with that being provided by existing R and D programs. Effort has been initiated to verify potential R and D requirements in selected areas. This work will consist of a limited amount of analyses in areas where the adequacy of existing methods and/or data is unknown. Since work has essentially been completed on all but the Licensing Assessment of Extended Burnup Fuel, future monthly progress letters will only cover this remaining task. A Contract Management Report and a Milestone Log for FY-1980 have been prepared and are included with this letter. 1 tab.
