The spectral shift control (SSC) is a promising method to decrease the fuel cycle cost and enhance the utilization of fuel resources (U, Pu) in nuclear reactors. In the chemical SSC method, reactivity control is accomplished by varying the ratio of heavy water to light water moderator (D2O/H2O). In the current work, we apply the chemical SSC method to analyze the VVER-1000 LEU fuel assembly from the OECD benchmark. Additionally, we compare the chemical SSC method to the conventional poison method presented in the benchmark. The results showed that the discharge burnup was improved by 60% and the conversion ratio value reached 0.83. The k? was suppressed at the beginning of cycle by ?8% compared to the benchmark model. Furthermore, the dedication of 12 burnable absorber rods with 4.0 wt% Gd2O3 would save the D2O quantity during the adjustment process resulting in reducing the capital cost of the SSC method. However, it’s found that the physical changes associated with applying the SSC method including a high contribution of 239Pu and 241Pu to power generation, the low effect of 135Xe and 149Sm on the reactivity system, and reduction of control rod worth should be considered in the safety analysis of the SSC design.
