A general non-uniform burnup program was developed to determine the lifetime of the APPR-1. The calculation is performed using two one dimensional multi-region burnout calculations. The approach to the problem, the equations, and derivation of burnout equations are presented. The results are plotted and compared with the rod bank position as measured at Fort Belvoir. On the basis of these calculations the expected total energy release of the APR-1 is 13 Mw-yr. (auth)

An internal flux suppressor will be used for the APPR-1 Core II instead of the external suppressors that are employed in Core I. The reference design of the integral flux suppressor for Core II is as follows: materials Eu/sub 2/O/sub 3/ in stainless steel matrix; compositions 23.2 wt.% Eu/sub 2/O/sub 3/; and dimensions, 0.02 in. x 2.281 in. x 0.875 in. The survey on the cffectiveness of this referencc design has shown that thc peaking of the flux in the control rod fuel element tip is eliminated throughout the lifetime and therefore eliminating the possibility of local boiling in this region.
