Question:

Calculate the average linear heat generation rate (LHGR) in a pin for

(a) a typical \(6 \times 6\) fuel assembly of a BWR core having 284 fuel assemblies having an active fuel length of \(3.6 \mathrm{~m}\) and producing \(660 \mathrm{MW}\) th.

(b) \(17 \times 17\) fuel assembly of a PWR core having 193 fuel assemblies with active fuel length of \(3.66 \mathrm{~m}\) and rated at a power of \(3030 \mathrm{MWth}\).

(c) 0.5-m long 37 element fuel bundle of a PHWR core with 392 fuel channels containing 12 short bundles each and producing 1740 MWth power.

Assume that the thermal power or power transferred to coolant is \(95 \%\) of the fission power.
