The investigation on the characteristics of void reactivity coefficients for the high-conversion-type core of the FLWR (HC-FLWR) concept for MA recycling has been performed. Void reactivity coefficients are the major restrictions for the core design of HC-FLWR for MA recycling, because the loaded MA makes void reactivity coefficients worse. Therefore, it is important to investigate the characteristics of void reactivity coefficients as a mechanism of reactor physics. Thus, in this study, the investigation of void reactivity coefficients has been performed using the exact perturbation calculations. In the exact perturbation theory, the reactivity is related to the variation in the cross section, and divided into scattering, leakage, absorption, and fission terms. Then, the worsening of the void reactivity coefficient caused by the MA loading mainly via the scattering term is found. Moreover, the void reactivity coefficient becomes better via the scattering term for the smaller fuel rod diameter, and via the leakage term for the lower core height. In addition, the 100% void reactivity coefficient, which is the restriction for the core design of HC-FLWR for MA recycling, cannot be negative only by using the effect of the scattering term by reducing the fuel rod diameter. Therefore, the mechanism of achieving the negative 100% void reactivity coefficient by using the effect of the leakage term through the core height reduction is quantitatively verified.
