Neutronics characterization of an erbia fully poisoned PWR assembly by means of the APOLLO2 code

Recently, increasing demands on the reduction of fuel cycle costs have led to higher burnup fuel designs. According to the erbia-credit super high burnup fuel concept, developed by mixing low content of erbia to UO2 powder directly after reconversion process so that all fuel pins in a given fuel ass...
