Computational Study of DRAGON for Minor Actinide Transmutation

Minor Actinide Transmutation

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...

Higher 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...

Performance on Actinide Transmutation of Lead-thorium Based Ads

The FACET group at CIEMAT is studying the properties and potentialities of several lead-cooled ADS designs for actinide and fission product transmutation. The main characteristics of these systems are the use of lead as primary coolant and moderator and fuels made by transuranics inside a thorium oxide matrix. The aim of the study is to analyse the effect of some operation parameters (fuel tran...
