A large LWR with a power of 1400MWe and thermal efficiency of 33% might require as much fuel as 100 tonne full core load. Suppose uranium is $43.25/lb. U3O8, enrichment (SWU) is $58/kgSWU, conversion is $16/kgU, losses in conversion 0.12%, product enrichment of 4.95wt%, tails assay of 0.25wt%. An average economical grade of uranium ore is 0.2%. For centrifuge enrichment, assume 50kWh/kgSWU. The discharge burnup of the fuel is 60,000MWD/MTU. 1. Compute the uranium requirement and the SWU requirement for this initial loading. How much ore would be required? 2. Compute the energy requirement per kg of enriched uranium and compare to the electricity generated per kg of fuel
