Supercritical Water-cooled Fast Reactor(SCWFR) presents features of combining fast and light water reactor characteristics in one design.The coolant mass flow rate is just as 1/8 as in the BWR
and the neutron energy is harder than in PWR
so it would has the breeding ability.In this paper
using different models of improved Flower-SCWFR core
the void reactivity effect
power distribution
and breeding ratio are analyzed by core zoning scheme
axial coolant densities zoning
seed and blanket assembly with suitable P/D value
MOX fuel with different design and enrichment zoning
and solid uranium matrix cooled by internal clad channels in blanket assembly.Finally
an optimized modal of the improved SCWFR cores-"Flower type" is obtained.
