MP98
Liquid Control Rods could be provide with Spectral Shift devices.

|
MP98’Spectral
shift fuel gives the opportunity of 60 more days production with the same enrichment or start
cycle with a lower enriched fuel.
|
|
It
gives opportunity to adapt electric power production to demand and to
electricity market flexiblity.
|
|
MP98’Spectral
shift fuel do not changes anything in design and could be chosen for
next refuelling.
|
|
If
americium, curium, neptunium fuel rods are located around
MP98’Spectral shift devices, an MP98’LWR becomes a long life wastes incenerator.
|
|
|
MP98’Spectral
shift device is provided with the Spectral shift fuel.
|
|
Spectral
shift device is a bell located around emergency Shutdown channels. This
bell is open at the bottom and connected to helium pressure conduits at
the top.
|
|
When
pressure is low in the bell, the Spectral shift device is filled with
water and we get over moderation effect.
|
|
When
Spectral shift device is pressurized at convenient pressure, we get
Spectral shift effect.
|
The
fuel is regenerated during this phase.
