Critical Assessment of Thorium Reactor Technology
Thorium-based fuels for nuclear reactors are being considered for use with current and future designs in both large and small-scale energy production. Thorium-232 is as abundant on Earth as lead, far more common than all isotopes of uranium, leading to its greatly reduced cost. Thorium itself offers a significantly greater neutron absorption cross-section than uranium at thermal energies, resul...
متن کاملOil Field Production using Machine Learning CS 229 Project Report
Effective management of reservoirs motivates oil and gas companies to do uncertainty analysis, optimize production and/or field development etc. Any such analysis requires a large number of flow simulations, of the order of hundreds in case of gradient-based methods or even thousands in case of direct search or stochastic procedures such as genetic algorithms. Since flow simulations are computa...
متن کاملStudy of thorium advanced fuel cycle utilization in light water reactor VVER-440
The first step in investigation of thorium fuel is evaluation of the results obtained from the spectral code for this type of fuel. The benchmark summarized by IAEA in 2003 was used for partial validation of the code HELIOS 1.9. The benchmark was focused on a comparison of the methods and basic nuclear data. Acceptable results of benchmark comparison allowed examining and comparing different ad...
متن کاملRecent Research of Thorium Molten-Salt Reactor from a Sustainability Viewpoint
The most important target of the concept “sustainability” is to achieve fairness between generations. Its expanding interpolation leads to achieve fairness within a generation. Thus, it is necessary to discuss the role of nuclear power from the viewpoint of this definition. The history of nuclear power has been the control of the nuclear fission reaction. Once this is obtained, then the economy...
متن کاملDesign and development of the AHWR—the Indian thorium fuelled innovative nuclear reactor
India has chalked out a nuclear power program based on its domestic resource position of uranium and thorium. The first stage started with setting up the Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWR) based on natural uranium and pressure tube technology. In the second phase, the fissile material base will be multiplied in Fast Breeder Reactors using the plutonium obtained from the PHWRs. Considering ...
