Transmutation of Dupic Spent Fuel in the Hyper System
In this paper, the transmutation of TRUs of the DUPIC (Direct Use of Spent PWR Fuel in CANDU) spent fuel has been studied with the HYPER system, which is an LBE-cooled ADS. The DUPIC concept is a synergistic combination of PWRs and CANDUs, in which PWR spent fuels are directly reutilized in CANDU reactors after a very simple re-fabrication process. In the DUPICHYPER fuel cycle, TRUs are recover...
متن کاملPyrochemical Processes for Lwr Spent Fuel
Pyrochemical processes are under development at Argonne National Laboratory for recovery of transuranium (TRU) elements from light water reactor spent fuel. The recovered TRU elements will be used as fuel in the integral fast reactor (IFR). Burning these long-lived isotopes for electrical power generation has the additional benefit of reducing the burden on the geological repository for their l...
متن کاملInvestigation of Fuel Cycle for a Sub-critical Fusion-fission Hybrid Breeder Reactor
iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my parents for providing me with a loving and supportive environment which cultivated my love for science and the drive to pursue it; my advisor, Professor Stacey for his insight, guidance, and reassurance throughout my introduction to the discipline of nuclear engineering; Professor Petrovic who helped refine my understanding of reactor physics; the p...
متن کاملHybrid Monte Carlo–deterministic Methods for Reactor Analysis
A new variant of a hybrid Monte Carlo–deterministic approach for simulating particle transport problems is presented and compared to the SCALE FW-CADIS approach. The new approach, denoted as the SUBSPACE approach, improves the selection of the importance maps in order to reduce the computational overhead required to achieve global variance reduction—that is, the uniform reduction of variance ev...
متن کاملPartitioning and Transmutation of Spent Nuclear Fuel by Peacer
Challenges of managing long-living spent nuclear fuel wastes are to be technically overcome by a partitioning and transmutation system named as PEACER that is an abbreviation of its design goals: Proliferation-resistant, Environment-friendly, Accident-tolerant, Continuable and Economical Reactor. PEACER has been developed to manage spent nuclear fuels by uniquely combining Pb-Bi cooled critical...
