Natural Uranium as a Nuclear Fuel

A Comprehensive Comparative Investigation of Compressed Natural Gas as an Alternative Fuel in a Bi-Fuel Spark Ignition Engine

Nowadays, increased attention has been focused on internal combustion engine fuels. Regarding environmental effects of internal combustion engines particularly as sources of pollution and depletion of fossil fuels, compressed natural gas has been introduced as an alternative to gasoline and diesel fuels in many applications. A high research octane number which allows combustion at higher co...

Thermal -Hidraolyc Study of Trr Core in Fuel Conversion Frome Highly Enriched Uranium to Low Enriched Uranium Fuel (RESEARCH NOTES)

Abundant thorium as an alternative nuclear fuel

It has long been known that thorium-232 is a fertile radioactive material that can produce energy in nuclear reactors for conversion to electricity. Thorium-232 is well suited to a variety of reactor types including molten fluoride salt designs, heavy water CANDU configurations, and helium-cooled TRISO-

Chemistry/electrochemistry of Spent Nuclear Fuel as a Wasteform

 Mineralogical Association of Canada Short Course 43, Winnipeg MB, May 2013, p. xx-xx INTRODUCTION The direct disposal of spent nuclear fuel in geologic repositories, built several hundred metres underground, has been under consideration internationally for 20 to 30 years. Various geologic formations are being, or have been, studied including tuff rock, salt domes, sedimentary clay deposits an...

محاسبات مصرف سوخت و پارامترهای نوترونیک مربوط به رآکتورهای آب سنگین تحقیقاتی با سوخت اورانیوم- توریوم توسط کد MCNPX

One of the main characteristics of heavy water research reactors is their high production of plutonium. This work demonstrates the possibility of reduction of plutonium production and other actinides in heavy water research reactors. Among the many ways for reducing plutonium production in a heavy water reactor, in this research, changing the fuel from natural uranium to thorium-uranium mixed f...
