Fuel loading process begins at Palisades
The Palisades nuclear power plant has drawn closer to restart, as plant staff began the process of loading fuel into the reactor vessel on Sunday morning.
The commencement of fuel loading places the Covert, Mich., facility in Mode 6—or the refueling stage—under the plant’s technical specifications, plant owner and operator Holtec International said in a news release. The Palisades reactor core consists of 204 fuel assemblies that include new fuel and partially used fuel from the plant’s most recent operating cycles. According to Holtec, the fuel loading is being conducted in accordance with plant procedures and technical specifications.

The medium-mass structural material titanium has been extensively applied in the nuclear reactor systems of fission or fusion, and related data are also urgently needed. In the present work, all reaction cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra, and double-differential cross sections are consistently calculated and analyzed for the n+48Ti reaction below 200 MeV. The theoretical calculations are compared with the experimental data, together with the evaluated results in the ENDF/B-VIII.0, JENDL-4.0, and JEFF-3.3 libraries. In general, these results provide a satisfactory description of the corresponding experimental data.
