Question: A cylindrical core ( R = 6 . 3 m , H = 7 . 9 m ) of a graphite - moderated gas -

A cylindrical core (R=6.3 m, H=7.9 m) of a graphite-moderated gas-cooled reactor has the total
thermal power equal to 700 MW, from 2940 fuel assemblies. Assuming the extrapolation length d =0.52
m, calculate:
(a) the mean, the highest and the lowest power in fuel assemblies,
(b) the power of the fuel assembly located at r=R/2 distance from the core centerline.
