AN APPROACH FOR VALIDATING ACTINIDE AND FISSION PRODUCT BURNUP CREDIT CRITICALITY SAFETY ANALYSES – CRITICALITY (keff) PREDICTIONS
One of the most significant remaining challenges associated with expanded implementation of burnup credit in the United States is the validation of depletion and criticality calculations used in the safety evaluation—in particular, the availability and use of applicable measured data to support validation, especially for fission products. Applicants and regulatory reviewers have been constraine...
متن کاملActinide and Fission Product Partitioning
In Japan, R&D activities for partitioning and transmutation (P&T) have been promoted under the OMEGA programme for more than 15 years. These activities were reviewed by the Atomic Energy Commission in Japan in 2000. In accordance with the results of the review, three institutes, the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), the Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute (JNC) and the Centr...
متن کاملNuclear Development ACTINIDE AND FISSION PRODUCT PARTITIONING AND TRANSMUTATION
Partitioning and transmutation (P&T) aims at making nuclear energy more sustainable from the viewpoint of the back-end of the fuel cycle by minimising the high-level waste with respect to its mass, radiotoxicity and (possibly) repository risk. P&T mainly deals with the management – i.e. transmutation and/or special conditioning and confinement – of minor actinides and fission products, but invo...
متن کامل1 Status and Assessment Report on Actinide and Fission Product
A working group composed of 30 scientists representing 12 countries and three international organisations have prepared a comprehensive status and assessment report on the Partitioning and Transmutation (P&T) of actinides and fission products in the frame work of an advanced fuel cycle option and as an alternative or complementary waste management option. The report is subdivided into two main ...
