Neutronic design of a PWR fuel assembly with accident tolerant-composite fuel using SRAC code

For the future of nuclear power, the design and development of an economical, accident tolerant fuel (ATF) for use in the current pressurized water reactors (PWRs) are highly desirable and essential. It is reported that the composite fuels are advantageous over the conventional UO2 fuel due to their higher thermal conductivities and a higher uranium densities.
