Resumen:

In this work a simple algorithm for fuel lattice design is presented; in particular for the design of boiling water reactor (BWR) fuel composed of uranium, plutonium and minor actinides (Np, Am and Cm), coming from the recycling of BWR spent fuel. The uranium is depleted uranium coming from the enrichment tails. The algorithm is focused on finding the radial distribution of fuel rods having different transuranic compositions to obtain a target neutron multiplication factor and a minimum local power peaking factor. The Doppler and void coefficients were also verified for the designed lattice.
