My question is about the whole plant. However I would just need an order of magnitude and I guess that 1/ Zr alloy, 2/ Ag-In-Cd alloy and 3/ Gd are mainly contained in the core.
Approximately, what is the total mass of these materials that is contained in a "typical" Gen III or III+ PWR (e.g., EPR, AP1000...)?
1/ Zr alloy (fuel cladding and other assembly components)?
2/ Ag-In-Cd alloy (control rods)?
3/ Gd (burnable neutron absorber)?
4/ Ni-based alloys?
5/ Stainless...
