Planning core campaigns

The three chapters at the start of the book deal with planning core campaigns, planning promotion at international congresses and planning advisory boards. 

Table 2.1 Key issues when planning core promotional campaigns...

Production planning requires additional indices next to the production resource index reR. The production process 5 e S as core planning object in production is introduced. Production processes can be grouped into process groups ge G. Production campaigns have a dedicated index ceC numbering the campaigns on the resource. 

The shutdown of the reactor was followed by the very fast recovery of the neutron flux detectors which were sent to the CEA at Cadarache for activity counting, then by the characterization at 180° C of the reactive state of the core before the start of planned maintenance operations and the associated handling campaign. 

Besides power generation and eventual replacement of the BN-600, the BN-800 will be used to demonstrate enhanced safety features and principles that are to be implemented in the next generation of commercial SFRs. It is planned to eventually use the plant as part of the closed nuclear fuel cycle with mixed oxide (MOX) or nitride fuel. The reactor core is planned to be recycled 20 times over the course of 40 years with 730 fuel cycle length (equivalent full power day, EFPD) fuel campaigns. The facility will also play an important role in obtaining data on the economic performance and approaches to operating cost optimization as well as the advanced fuel...
