Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To contrive good securing of thermal margin and increase of taken-out burning efficiency while maintaining fuel economy, by specifying the lateral cross section average nuclear fission substance enrichment of an area having the upper end or the lower end of a fuel effective part and not containing combustible poison to a specified value, and making the rate of range within each level of a specified expression. SOLUTION: The fuel assembly has an area not containing combustible poison on at least one of the upper end and the lower end of a fuel effective part, and the lateral cross section average nuclear fission substance enrichment of the area is higher than natural uranium, and set 0.72-3.0 wt. Thus, axial output keeping is reduced to secure good thermal margin. In addition, with regard to the area not containing the combustible poison, the rate L of the axial length occupied in the fuel effective part is set within the expression L<(em -en )/12(em -en ) (em and eb show respective average nuclear fission substance enrichment of each area containing or not containing the combustible poison, and en shows the average nuclear fission substance enrichment of natural uranium). As a result, the average nuclear fission substance enrichment of the fuel assembly is larger than the conventional, and increase of burning efficiency can be contrived.

In the present embodiment, the present invention is adopted not at the upper end but at the lower end. In a boiling water reactor, the power distribution in the lower part of the core where the density of water is large is generally larger than the power in the upper part, since the axial void distribution and the power distribution are related to each other. Therefore, in the present embodiment in which the present invention is applied to the lower end, the flattening effect of the axial output peaking is smaller than when applied to the upper end. However, compared to the conventional fuel assembly shown in FIG. 11, the axial output peaking was reduced (about 1.
0%) and an increase in the output burnup (about 0.6 GWd / t). Therefore, when it is desired to increase the average enrichment of the fuel assembly to increase the output burnup, the present invention is applied to the lower end portion as in this embodiment. It is also possible to adopt the structure of FIG.
