Dynamic Determination of Thermal Repository Capacity For Fuel Cycle Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
ion based on detailed computational thermal repository performance calculations has resulted in implementation of the STC estimation algorithm and a supporting reference dataset. This method is capable of rapid estimation of temperature increase near emplacement tunnels as a function of waste composition, limiting radius, rlim, waste package spacing, S, near field thermal conductivity, Kth, and near field thermal diffusivity, αth.

Lwr Recycle: Necessity or Impediment?
The nuclear fuel cycle can be truly closed by supp lementing today’s thermal reactors with fast reactors, which can use as fuel the heavy, fissionable isotopes that accumulate in thermal-reactor fuel. In a fully closed cycle, the waste for disposal consists only of fission products with trace amounts of actinides. Eliminating the transuranics reduces the heat load in the repository, increasing ...

Air-Conditioning (AC) systems are responsible for a considerable portion of the energy consumption in buildings located in high cooling load requiring regions of Iran. In addition, the heat flow through the buildingschr('39') external walls plays a major role in cooling load estimations for the countrychr('39')s hot regions. Therefore, application of insulation materials in external walls has g...
متن کاملCoupling Fuel Cycles with Repositories: How Repository Institutional Choices May Impact Fuel Cycle Design
The United States repository for high-level waste (HLW) and spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is currently scheduled to open in 2048—more than a century after generation of the first HLW. This failure is a consequence of the cold war history and an institutional structure that provided insufficient confidence and incentives to states and communities to host a repository. The U.S. government is now consi...
