A large modern nuclear power plant has approximately how many fuel assemblies in its core?

A large modern nuclear power plant typically has around 200-250 fuel assemblies in its core. Each fuel assembly contains numerous fuel rods that house the uranium fuel used to generate heat for electricity production.


How many fuel assemblies in its core does a large modern nuclear power plant?

It depends on the particular design and the design objectives. One plant that I worked at had 137 control rods, each having four bundles, for a total bundle count of 548 assemblies. Each assembly had 62 fuel rods and two water rods in an 8 x 8 matrix.


How many fuel assemblies does a large modern nuclear power plant have in its core?

It varies, according to the design, but one that I am familiar with had 544 bundles, made up into about 130 some odd assemblies each comprising four bundles and one control rod. It was a 2400 MW Thermal BWR. (850 MW Electric). I would imagine that some of the newer or larger plants would have more.As an example, Millstone Unit 3 in Connecticut, a 1227 MWe PWR licensed in 1986, contains 193 fuel assemblies, each containing 264 fuel rods, each 12 feet long.As another example, Nine Mile Point Unit 2 in New York, an 1140 MWe BWR licensed in 1987, contains 764 fuel assemblies. The number of fuel rods per assembly and the length of each fuel rod is not part of the public domain.
