Characteristics of Minor Actinide Transmutation in Minor Actinide Burner Reactors and Power Reactor
One of the techniques of minor actinides transmutation is to recycle these nuclides into fission reactors. Two concepts of a minor actinides burner reactor with very hard neutron energy spectrum as well as very high neutronjlux me discussed. The fuel cycle facilities for these burner reactors am assessed to discuss the technical feasibili~ of these reactors. Transmutation of minor actinide in b...
متن کاملCheng/Cerbone-Page 1 PROSPECT OF NUCLEAR WASTE TRANSMUTATION AND POWER PRODUCTION IN FUSION REACTORS
A small tokamak-based fusion reactor can be attractive for actinide waste transmutation. Equilibrium concentrations of transuranium isotopes were estimated in a molten-salt based fusion transmutation reactor. Nuclear performance parameters were derived for two types of fusion-driven transmutation reactors: Pu-assisted and minor actinidesonly systems. The minor actinide-only burning system appea...
متن کاملConceptual Design Study of an Accelerator-based Actinide Transmutation Plant with Sodium-cooled Solid Target/Core
Research and development ,works on accelerator-based nuclear waste transmutation are carried out at JAERI under the national program OMEGA. The preliminary design of the ~proposed minor actinide transmutation plant with a solid targetkore is described. The plant consists of a high intensity proton accelerator, spallatkm target of solid tungsten, and subcritical core loaded with actinide alloy f...
متن کاملHigher Actinide Transmutation in the Almr
The Advanced Liquid Metal Reactor (ALMR) is a US Department of Energy (DOE) sponsored fast reactor design based on the Power Reactor, Innovative Small Module (PRISM) concept originated by General Electric and fieled with ternary metal Iiel (under development by Argonne National Laboratory in the IFR Program). Higher actinide transmutation may be accomplished in the ALMR by using either a breedi...
متن کاملCharacteristics of an Lmfbr Core Loaded with Minor Actinide and Rare Earth Containing Fuels
Systematic parameter survey calculations were performed to investigate basic characteristics (burnup reactivity loss, Doppler coefficient, sodium void reactivity , control rod worth , power distribution, transmutation rate, breeding ratio etc.) of an LMFBR core loaded with minor actinide (MA) fuels which contain rare earths (RE) and a}so to establish MA and RE loading method which has no seriou...
