Sustainability Features of Nuclear Fuel Cycle Options
The nuclear fuel cycle is the series of stages that nuclear fuel materials go through in a cradle to grave framework. The Once Through Cycle (OTC) is the current fuel cycle implemented in the United States; in which an appropriate form of the fuel is irradiated through a nuclear reactor only once before it is disposed of as waste. The discharged fuel contains materials that can be suitable for ...
متن کاملMeta-Analysis Options for Inconsistent Nuclear Measurements
Meta-analysis aims to combine results from multiple experiments. For example, a neutron reaction rate or cross section is typically measured in multiple experiments, and a single estimate and its uncertainty are provided for users of the estimated reaction rate. It is often difficult to combine estimates from multiple laboratories because there can be important differences in experimental proto...
متن کاملIndia's Nuclear Breeders: Technology, Viability, and Options
India's nuclear power program is based on indigenous materials and technology, with the potential for providing energy security for many centuries. This paper examines the technical validity of this plan, specifically the role of breeder reactors for extending the domestic uranium supplies. Our study shows breeding is unlikely to occur at anywhere near the rates envisioned, leading to a slow gr...
متن کاملTechnology Options for a Country’s First Nuclear Power Plant
Several Member States of the Agency are considering introducing nuclear power to their energy mix for the first time. Although various technology options are available to these countries, selecting the most suitable nuclear reactor design requires not only a careful understanding of existing designs but also in-depth knowledge of country-specific needs, conditions and other considerations. To m...
متن کاملSweden beyond oil: nuclear commitments and solar options.
The project "Energy and Society," sponsored by the Swedish Secretariat for Futures Studies, has studied different indigenous energy sources as alternatives to imported oil in Sweden. One alternative is nuclear energy, antoer is renewable energy. Large uncertainties are associated with both alternatives today. The main characteristics of an energy policy for the rest of the century that does not...
