Spent Fuel Reprocessing: an Overview
India has entered in the field of spent fuel reprocessing as early as sixties by way of R&D studies and finalising the process flow sheet. India's first spent fuel reprocessing plant was commissioned in the year 1965 at Trombay to reprocess spent fuel arising from research reactors. The recovered plutonium is being utilised to feed various programmes of the department. With the passage of time,...

متن کاملDetermination of the Transuranic Elements Inventory in High Burnup Pwr Spent Fuel Samples by Alpha Spectrometry
Determination of transuranic elements such as U, Pu, Np, Am and Cm in spent nuclear fuels is of importance for a fuel characterization, evaluation of a burnup credit, and burnup determination of spent nuclear fuels. Additionally, the exact amount of the actinide elements, as the major elements of a source term, of the spent nuclear fuels is also used for a code verification that predicts the am...
متن کاملResistance of U-233 in Spent Fuel
The factors influencing the level of U-232 contamination in U-233 are examined for heavy-water-moderated, light-water-moderated and liquid-metal cooled fast breeder reactors fueled with natural or low-enriched uranium and containing thorium mixed with the uranium or in separate target channels. U-232 decays with a 69-year half-life through 1.9-year half-life Th-228 to Tl-208, which emits a 2.6 ...
متن کاملPotential Radioactive Releases from Commercial Reactors and Spent Fuel*
Commercial nuclear reactors and storage facilities for their spent fuel contain large amounts of radioactive material, and are not designed to resist attack. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has determined, however, that these facilities require only a light defense. This paper shows, without disclosing any sensitive information, that reactors and spent-fuelstorage facilities have vul...
