approximately 0.89 in thermal region below 1.8554eV.<br />
The effects on the infinite multiplication factors of fuel assemblies are 0.35%k and 0.30%k<br />
respectively in the UO2 and MOX fuel assembly at the beginning of burnup, decrease with<br />
burnup and extinguish at 15GWd/t.<br />
Effects on fission rate distributions due to the change of 157Gd cross sections reveals mainly<br />
at the beginning of life. The maximum effects on fission rates in Gd rods are 1.1% and 1.5%<br />
in MOX and UO2 fuel assembly, respectively. The effects extinguish at 15GWd/t.<br />
Accurate cross section evaluation of Gd isotopes, especially 157Gd and 155Gd (although<br />
not discussed in this paper) are very important in BWR nuclear fuel assembly design. More<br />
improvement needs to be done in the future study.<br />
