Dispersion of Surrogate LWR Fuel Experiments Under LOCA Conditions

Nuclear Fuel Behaviour in Loss-of-coolant Accident (LOCA) Conditions

Pyrochemical Processes for Lwr Spent Fuel

Pyrochemical processes are under development at Argonne National Laboratory for recovery of transuranium (TRU) elements from light water reactor spent fuel. The recovered TRU elements will be used as fuel in the integral fast reactor (IFR). Burning these long-lived isotopes for electrical power generation has the additional benefit of reducing the burden on the geological repository for their l...

Catalytic Combustion of Light Hydrocarbons under Fuel-Rich Conditions

Introduction The integration of fuel processors, the catalytic units that can convert fossil fuels to hydrogen-rich streams, with hydrogen fuel cells is considered as a promising solution to the problems related to the availability, distribution and storage of hydrogen. Recent computer-based studies have demonstrated the possibility of efficient hydrogen production on-board the vehicles through...
