The Westinghouse AP1000 is an advanced pressurized water reactor having a power capacity of 1117MW (3415 MW). Suppose the following data apply to a AP100: Fuel enrichment: 4.8 wt% U-235 Refueling cycle: 18 months (1/3 of fuel replaced) Discharge fuel burnup: 60000 MWd/tonne Turbine inlet temperature: 271°C Turbine discharge temperature: 44°C 1. What is the overall power plant efficiency? 2. What is the mass of heavy metal in the reactor core? 3. What is the rate of fission in the core (fissions per second)? 4. How much fuel (in kg) undergoes fission during 18 months? 5. How much fuel (in kg) is consumed during 18 months? 6. What is the fractional burnup of the discharged fuel ?
