Market Power in Uranium Enrichment

Enrichment Tails Assays and Uranium Supply: a Dynamic Relationship

At present, utility fuel buyers order uranium, conversion, and enrichment services according to optimization criteria based on relative prices for EUP inputs. Enrichment decisions are constrained only by enrichment contract requirements that limit the tails assays nominated to a certain range without surcharges. At present, given a uranium price of $33.75/kg U as UF6, and roughly $105/SWU, the ...

Minimization of waste from uranium purification, enrichment and fuel fabrication

FOREWORD As any industry, nuclear industry generates a diverse range of waste which has to be managed in a safe manner to be acceptable to the public and the environment. The cost of waste management, the risks to the public and employees, and the detriment to the environment are dependent on the quantity and radioactive content of the waste generated. Waste minimization is a necessary activity...

A Proliferation Assessment of Third Generation Laser Uranium Enrichment Technology

Low-resolution gamma-ray measurements of uranium enrichment.

We have developed smaller, lighter hardware (MCA and shielded detectors) that has been successfully transferred to the commercial sector. We have developed software that has received limited testing, the next release should be sufficiently robust for wide release to the general public. We have had initial success with more sophisticated analysis methods. We are pursuing medium-resolution tors a...

emittance control in high power linacs

چکیده این پایان نامه به بررسی اثر سیم پیچ مغناطیسی و کاوه یِ خوشه گر با بسامد رادیویی بر هاله و بیرونگراییِ باریکه هایِ پیوسته و خوشه ایِ ذرات باردار در شتابدهنده های خطیِ یونی، پروتونی با جریان بالا می پردازد و راه حل هایی برای بهینه نگهداشتن این کمیتها ارایه می دهد. بیرونگرایی یکی از کمیتهای اساسی باریکه هایِ ذرات باردار در شتابدهنده ها است که تاثیر قابل توجهی بر قیمت، هزینه و کاراییِ هر شتابدهند...
