1 Recycling Schemes of Americium Targets in Pwr / Mox Cores
From the orientation studies performed so far, both ways to recycle Am in PWR/MOX cores, homogeneous in MOX or heterogeneous in target pins, appear feasible, provided that enriched UO2 is used as support of the MOX fuel. Multiple recycling can then proceed and stabilise Pu and Am quantities. With respect to the Pu multiple recycling strategy, recycling Am in addition needs 1/3 more U, and creat...

متن کاملAnalysis of Nuclear Proliferation Resistance of DUPIC Fuel Cycle
This study compares the proliferation resistance of DUPIC (Direct Use of Spent PWR Fuel in CANDU) fuel cycle with other fuel cycle cases. The other fuel cycles considered in this study are PWR of once-through mode (PWR-OT), PWR of reprocessing mode (PWR-MOX), in which spent PWR fuel is reprocessed and recovered plutonium is used for making MOX (Mixed Oxide), CANDU with once-through mode (CANDU-...
متن کاملLong-term Environmental Impact of Underground Disposal of P&t Waste
The long-term radiological impact of underground disposal of vitrified HLW (high-level waste) resulting from different P&T strategies has been evaluated. The considered P&T strategies include recycling of Pu and Np in homogeneous mode and Am in heterogeneous mode in CAPRA reactors or EFRs (European Fast Reactor). The safety assessment has been performed for three different types of host rocks, ...
متن کاملImproved PWR Core Characteristics with Thorium-containing Fuel
Thorium is an element for possible use as nuclear fuel, because of the fertile property of Th-232, which could convert into U-233 after neutron capture and beta decays. However, thorium based fuels have not been successfully implemented, because of the high cost and the higher complexity compared with once-through uranium fuel. Therefore, the focus of this thesis is on thorium for use in tradit...
