A method for joint configuration of nuclear power plant fuel includes the following steps: (S1) for at least one operating unit, based on an equilibrium cycle or transition cycle reactor core design, at least one new fuel element is added to at least one operating unit; (S2) after running a combustion cycle, and on basis of the new fuel elements in step (S1), more first spent fuel elements are obtained from the at least one operating unit than are obtained from the equilibrium cycle or transition cycle reactor core design, and said first spent fuel elements are kept in reserve; (S3) for at least one new starting unit, a scheduled number of new fuel elements, as well as the first spent fuel elements obtained for reserve in step (S2), are set in the first reactor cores of at least one new starting unit.
A method for joint configuration design of nuclear power plant fuel elements/assemblies, comprising steps implemented in fuel elements/assemblies joint configuration conducted between at least one operating unit and at least one new starting unit with the first core:
