Self-protection Analysis of Denatured Thorium-plutonium Fuel
With growing demands for commercial nuclear power, there is also a growing need for better energy efficiency from nuclear power reactors. In order to reach a high burnup up to 100 MWd/kg, previous research has examined the use of thorium-plutonium mixedoxide fuel as a potential candidate for this high-burnup goal. Though the neutronics studies have looked upon this fuel type favorably, the purp...
متن کاملPlutonium, protactinium, uranium and thorium isotopes determination in environmental samples by SF ICP-MS
Alpha spectrometry is the most commonly used analytical tool for the determination of Pu, Am, Pa, U and Th long live radionuclides. Thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) and acceleration mass spectrometry (AMS) are also still considered as primary methods for the determination of their isotope ratios. Spectrometers with plasma ion sources now offer another efficient alternative method wit...
متن کاملFunctional sorbents for selective capture of plutonium, americium, uranium, and thorium in blood.
Self-assembled monolayer on mesoporous supports (SAMMS) are hybrid materials created from attachment of organic moieties onto very high surface area mesoporous silica. SAMMS with surface chemistries including three isomers of hydroxypyridinone, diphosphonic acid, acetamide phosphonic acid, glycinyl urea, and diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (DTPA) analog were evaluated for chelation of actinides...
متن کاملElemental bio-imaging of thorium, uranium, and plutonium in tissues from occupationally exposed former nuclear workers.
Internal exposure from naturally occurring radionuclides (including the inhaled long-lived actinides (232)Th and (238)U) is a component of the ubiquitous background radiation dose (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements. Ionizing radiation exposure of the population of the United States; NCRP Report No. 160; NCRP: Bethesda, MD, 2009). It is of interest to compare the concentr...
متن کاملCore Design and Deployment Strategy of Heavy Water Cooled Sustainable Thorium Reactor
Our previous studies on water cooled thorium breeder reactor based on matured pressurized water reactor (PWR) plant technology concluded that reduced moderated core by arranging fuel pins in a triangular tight lattice array and using heavy water as coolant is appropriate for achieving better breeding performance and higher burn-up simultaneously [1–6]. One optimum core that produces 3.5 GW ther...
