Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors
A study of future energy requirements and of the potential of various energy sources (coal, oil, gas, nuclear power, hydropower and solar energy) indicates that the contribution to be made by nuclear fission, now competitive with conventional energy sources, will grow steadily over the next few decades. Whereas the amount of fuel which has to be fabricated each year for the operation of a nucle...
متن کاملIndia and Fast Breeder Reactors
India has long pursued a fast breeder program, motivated in part by the availability of only poor quality uranium resources within the country. But progress so far has been disappointing, with only one test reactor having been constructed and having a chequered operating history. The larger Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor that is being constructed has a design that compromises safety and will pr...
متن کاملNeutronics R&D Efforts in Support of the European Breeder Blanket Development Programme
The recent progress in the R&D neutronics efforts spent in the EU to support the development of the HCLL and HCPB breeder blankets is presented. These efforts include neutronic design activities performed in the frame of the European DEMO reactor study, validation efforts by means of neutronics mock-up experiments using 14 MeV neutron generators, and the development of dedicated tool computatio...
متن کاملThe benefits of a fast-track, staff nurse development programme.
In line with other professions, nursing should offer a range of career paths to suit the differing needs of its members. There should be opportunities for nurses who have both the ability and the commitment to make rapid career progress. This article describes a fast-track, staff nurse D-E grade development programme for junior nurses. The programme has been introduced in an acute teaching trus...
متن کاملTransmutation of Cesium-135 with Fast Reactors
The neutronic feasibility has been studied for Cs transmutation with commercial fast reactors. By irradiating Cs, the existence of stable isotope Cs deteriorates an effective net reduction of Cs owing to new creations of Cs by double neutron capture reactions, because Cs recovered by an element-wise separation process contains the associated isotopes Cs, Cs and Cs except Cs. The following three...
